Quotes

• “'Brother,’ he said. ‘Brother, what are we? What are we blackmen who are called French?”
• “Today, Father Vandermayer came back from the bush. He has brought five women with him. It seems they are Christians that he has taken away from their polygamous husband. Five more boarders for the Sixas. If they knew the work there is waiting for them here, they would have stayed behind with their husband.”
• “But for me, it is more than mourning. I have died my first death….”
• “I shall be the Chief European's boy. The dog of a king is a king of dogs.”
• “My master is thickset. His legs have great muscles like the legs of a pedlar. He is the kind of man we call 'mahogany-trunk' because the trunk of the mahogany tree is so strong that it never bends in a storm. I am not a storm. I am the thing that obeys.”
• “With that he shot out a kick to my shins that sent me sprawling under the table. The Commandant's kick was even more painful than the kick of the late father Gilbert. He seemed pleased with his effort.”
