Said he, "Well, I chew, you know, and the road's so plagued clean. " We walked several miles that afternoon in the bewildering glare of thesun, the white roads, and the white buildings. Our eyes got to painingus a good deal. By and by a soothing, blessed twilight spread its coolbalm around. We looked up in pleased surprise and saw that it proceededfrom an intensely black negro who was going by. We answered his militarysalute in the grateful gloom of his near presence, and then passed oninto the... pitiless white glare again.
The colored women whom we met usually bowed and spoke; so did thechildren. The colored men commonly gave the military salute. They borrowthis fashion from the soldiers, no doubt; England has kept a garrisonhere for generations. The younger men's custom of carrying small canesis also borrowed from the soldiers, I suppose, who always carry a cane, in Bermuda as everywhere else in Britain's broad dominions.
The country roads curve and wind hither and thither in the delightfulestway, unfolding pretty surprises at every turn: billowy masses ofoleander that seem to float out from behind distant projections like thepink cloud-banks of sunset; sudden plunges among cottages and gardens, life and activity, followed by as sudden plunges into the sombertwilight and stillness of the woods; flitting visions of whitefortresses and beacon towers pictured against the sky on remotehilltops; glimpses of shining green sea caught for a moment throughopening headlands, then lost again; more woods and solitude; and by andby another turn lays bare, without warning, the full sweep of theinland ocean, enriched with its bars of soft color and graced with itswandering sails.
