Smith, you'll never make money, except by hard graft hard, bullocking, nigger-driving graft like we had on that damned railway section for the last six months, up to our knees in water all winter, and all for a paltry cheque of one-fifty twenty of that gone already. How do you expect to make money in this country if you won't take anything for granted, except hard cash?
"Strike that flag, I say," called the oarsman. "I won't. Who are you? Strike your own flag." "I am Norman Wentworth. That's who I am, and if you don't take that flag down I will take it down for you, you little nigger-driving rebel." Gordon Keith was not a boy to neglect the amenities of the occasion. "Come and try it then, will you, you nigger-stealing Yankees!" he called.
Jack does, and so does old Bruff; and as for David Jimpny, `Let me live and die here, he says, `for I didn't know as there was such places in the world. But Mr Small says `No, he says, `We've got to make that there boat, he says, and he's a nigger-driving all day long. Blow the boat! I wish as it had never been begun, and the gig was burned."

They shall have oh, such a good time!"
I'm not a good man, only an overbearing, nigger-driving old indigo planter, who likes to have his own way in everything. Now then, old lady, out with it. I like to hear what the fools tattle about me; and besides, I want Tom here to know what sort of a character I have in Furzebrough." "I I'd really rather not say, sir.
Higbee wasn't quick enough, Dumont lets fly, drops Higbee, and then gallops off chased by the Reeds to avenge Higbee, and followed by the whole crowd to see the fun, which was a little better than nigger-driving. And that let you and Cato out, colonel." "And Dumont?" "Got clean away to Foxboro' Station, leaving another score on his side for the Reeds and Higbees to wipe out as best they can.
It was this extraordinary dispatch that led Macaulay to say in the House of Commons that the American Republic had "put itself at the head of the nigger-driving interest throughout the world as Elizabeth put herself at the head of the Protestant interest."
