Clinton Rosemond: Coachman
Quotes
-
Coachman : In times gone, Fort Holland was a fort and, now, no longer. The Hollands was the most old family, Miss. They brought the colored folks to the island. The colored folks and Ti-Misery.
Betsy Connell : Ti-Misery? What's that?
Coachman : A man, Miss. An old man who lives in the garden of Fort Holland, with arrows stuck in him and a sorrowful weeping look on his black face.
Betsy Connell : Alive?
Coachman : No, Miss. He's just the same as he was in the beginning. Only on the front side of an enormous boat.
Betsy Connell : You mean a figurehead.
Coachman : If you say, Miss. And the enormous boat brought the long ago fathers and the long ago mothers of us all, chained to the bottom of the boat.
Betsy Connell : They brought you to a beautiful place, didn't they?
Coachman : If you say, Miss. If you say.
