She will have nothing to do with anybody but those native Africans, who keep to themselves, anyway." "If anybody should trouble us, who would it be?
Soldiers or the policemen?

"And they're all colored men," said Corny.

"I'd hate to have any of them coming after us." "The governor of the colony is at the head of the army, police and all, isn't he ?" said Rectus.
"Yes," I answered.
"And I know where he lives," put in Corny.
