Might Have Been Wrong
As to Color Of Rat

You called me a white rat" said

business of the meeting.
Did I say 'White?'" I inquired,
reaching for my notes. Let me go
through these a minute. think
you have the color wrong"
Never mind the color barked
Montague Slugg, who seemed to be
restless. white or black, you called
me a rat and I am going to whip
you within an inch of your life"
The funny thing about this case
was that he proceeded to do So
not within an inch of my life, for
Slugg was boastful and always
overestimated his stuff, but within
three or four inches. 1t was painful,
but my experience is that you have
to take the good breaks with the bad.
Ordinarily I would have had the
fire escape guarded. I did not allow
for Slugg's stubbornness.
In advising young writer's would
say that freedom of expression is
their sacred prerogative and must
not be surrendered at the threat of
a little horsewhipping. In the long
run horsewhipping builds you up.
It braces you and clears up nasal
