...watchdog. In his preaching, Evangelist Bhengu is careful not to set up a kind of reverse color line. White preachers, he tells his native listeners, have the word too. "When you get hold of a bottle of gin. it comes in a white bottle. It tastes good. Sometimes you pour some into a black bottle for your friends. It still tastes good. I give you the spirit of God out of a black bottle, but if it comes out of a white bottle, it is just as good...
Within hours of the court's decision, three loaded ore boats sailed out of Duluth harbor for the steel centers; within two hours maintenance workers began heating up coke ovens in Pittsburgh. By midweek the first pig iron would pour down white-hot from ten-story-high blast furnaces, thence become raw steel within less than 24 hours, bars and sheets within a week or so.

At the end of his preface, Graves promises to pour a libation of red wine "to Homer's shade, imploring pardon for the many small liberties I have taken." It seems likely that he will get his pardon from Homer, and also, as he forsees, a squall of protest from Homer's loyal grammarians...
