Roy's window faced on the road, and a glance satisfied him that the Mortlake machine was to have its first try-out.

"Bigger. The police are afraid of him." "Why?" "Because he is the boss. He is the district leader. What he says goes."

I believe in their equality of rights before the law with the dominant race. I believe in their rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
