If you disobeyed, "you got yourself whipped-with love, but you were torn up just the same." The color bar was as strong in Laurel as anywhere in the South, but the children were not aware of it at the time: "We were taught to judge peo ple as individuals, not on the pigment of their skin," says George.

Even to those whom he did not send to jail, the judge gave no verbal mercy. When the lawyer for M. A. deFerranti...

In Marlow's Jew of Malta and Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice the composite portraits are given their final expression and the final punisments are meted out. "In Chaucer he was torn by wild horses and hanged also. In Gower a lion tears him to death. Marlowe has him burned in a cauldron. Shylock, the fox at bay, loses both daughter and ducats, as well as his religion...
