Ostrog, said Asano,
gpt
Ostrog,
human
What is this I hear? he asked.
gpt
Are you bringing negroes here--to keep the people down?
human
It is none too soon, said Ostrog.
gpt
They have been getting out of hand more and more, since the revolt. I under-estimated--
human
Do you mean that these infernal negroes are on the way?
gpt
On the way. As it is, you have seen the people--outside?
human
No wonder! But--after what was said. You have taken too much on yourself, Ostrog.
gpt
These negroes must not come to London, said Graham.
human
I am Master and they shall not come.
gpt
Why not?
human
White men must be mastered by white men. Besides--
gpt
The negroes are only an instrument.
human
But that is not the question. I am the Master. I mean to be the Master. And I tell you these negroes shall not come.
gpt
The people--
human
I believe in the people.
gpt
Because you are an anachronism. You are a man out of the Past--an accident. You are Owner perhaps of the world. Nominally--legally. But you are not Master. You do not know enough to be Master.
human
I know now what you think--I can guess something of what you mean to do. Even now it is not too late to warn you. You dream of human equality--of some sort of socialistic order--you have all those worn-out dreams of the nineteenth century fresh and vivid in your mind, and you would rule this age that you do not understand.
gpt
Listen! said Graham.
human
You can hear it--a sound like the sea. Not voices--but a voice. Do _you_ altogether understand?
gpt
We taught them that,
human
Perhaps. Can you teach them to forget it? But enough of this! These negroes must not come.
gpt
They will,
human
I forbid it,
gpt
They have started.
human
I will not have it.
gpt
No, said Ostrog.
human
Sorry as I am to follow the method of the Council--. For your own good--you must not side with--Disorder. And now that you are here--. It was kind of you to come here.
