Christy Tucker rode into the plantation office on mule back late in the evening. He was working all day long. Having hewed new pickets for the fence around his house he was pleased with his work.

Having done much he felt good.

Christy tied up the mule behind the row of stores, and the first thing he noticed was that the other negroes out there did not want to speak to him. Having been on friendly terms with all the coloured people on the plantation he could not understand why they pretended not to see him.

He walked slowly down the road forwards the plantation office wondering why nobody spoke to him.

Having gone a little farther, he met Froggy Miller.

“What’s the matter with you folks today?” he said. But Froggy moved away.

Having caught Froggy by the arm he shook him.

“Now, look here!” Christie said, getting worried.

“Why do you and everybody else act so strange?”...
