But behave as though
nothing had happened.

- Lunch is ready, ma'am.
- Thank you, Mary.

Congratulations.

That was a fine series of articles,
the best things I've read about the island.

:00:32
As for that one today,
that was- that was the goods.

:00:35
You said things
that needed saying.

:00:36
From my point of view,
I can't tell you how grateful I am.

:00:40
- In what way?
- In every way.

:00:44
I've not been trusted.
The people here, West Indian...

:00:46
they thought of me as a Fleury, a feudal planter,
bought their ancestors in the marketplace.

:00:50
But now? I'm standing for the legislature.
Why not?

:00:55
I combine black and white, the new and the old.
I've a foot in both camps.

:00:59
And your article gave me
the guts that I needed.

:01:02
- What'll it be, gentlemen?
- Rum and, uh, ginger. Two of them.

:01:05
Just water.
:01:07
I didn't see this before. But now I can
look out at those faces and I can say to them...

:01:10
"My grandmother was
of African ancestry.

:01:13
She came over in a slave trader
just as yours did."

:01:16
Yes, I can say to them,
"I'm one of you now."

:01:23
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

You do?
Who the devil are you?
