...returns, but there is no denying that such slavery has its little compensations. Mr. Hutton's slave quarters in Palm Beach might be called a model cabin. His 16,000-acre patch in South Carolina is sufficient to supply potatoes and greens for a slave family of normal appetite, besides an occasional 'possum, and the Hutton slave ship, the Hussar, the largest sailing yacht in the world, offers a pleasant escape from the driving lash of his masters, who pay no taxes and are therefor 100% free...

The Vagabond as yet has not grown a beard but it did make him want to call up his Greek when he found that certain libraries and squash courts were closed because of the game and all that means. But he took a lesson from his friend the Hatter and all he said was: "Are Greeks today much different from Greeks...
