-->'''Webster:''' Mr. Stone is an American citizen, and no American citizen may be forced into the service of a foreign prince.
-->'''Mr. Scratch:''' Foreign? And who calls me a foreigner?
-->'''Webster:''' Well, I never heard the dev-- of ''you'' claiming American citizenship.
-->'''Mr. Scratch:''' And who with better right? When the first wrong was done to the first Indian, I was there. When the first slaver put out for the Congo, I stood on the deck.
