Short essay “I had now been with him every moment of the day and night for two months, but I had not seen him. I remembered that ugly welted face. But now, in my memory, it did not seem ugly at all. It seemed only kind and strong. I asked, ‘Timothy, are you still black?’ His laughter filled the hut?” Why does Philip ask this question?
