Nevil Shute Quote
Jerry stood the old man to a glass of mild, and asked, What do you think of all these Americans in Trenarth, Mr Parsons? The ancient piped in his old quavering voice, I like them very well; oh, very well indeed. We get on nicely with them here. I don’t like these white ones that are coming in now, though. I hope they don’t send us no more o’ them. It was too good not to be repeated; it ran round both whites and blacks that afternoon.
