All of them favor peace with the Royalists, and all have both the prestige and popular following necessary to overthrow Sallal.

Others, says Styron, "hate but with a hatred which is all sullenness and impotent resentment, like the helpless, resigned fury one feels toward indifferent Nature throughout long days of relentless heat or after periods of unceasing rain." Nat, however, had known the white man and had been cultivated...
