and back to their feet routine. Some others rushed up and began 
break-dancing. 

“Ooohhh maaa Lawwwddd!” sang the choir, wobbling and swaying. 

The crowd joined in and there was a sea of clapping, wobbling, singing
and dancing. 

“Praise maaa Lawwwddd!” sang the choir and the crowd. “Ooohhh maaa--” 

“Hoald it!! Hoald it!!” yelled Big Lucas, jumping up. 

The clapping, wobbling, singing and dancing dribbled to a halt. A few
extra shakes and there was silence. The choir looked sheepishly at each 
other. 

“Just hoald it!” Big Lucas yelled again. “Ah'm in charge o this
democracy an Ah ain'ts bin mentioned fo half a page!” 

The choir and the dancers slunk back into the crowd. Big Lucas shook his
head and glared at them. He sat back down on his throne and turned to 
Roger. 

“As Ah was sayin before the sistas interruptin me,” he resumed. “The
black man gettin on fine since we leavin Eart. We's runnin the show 
now. No wites allowed. This the black man's wurl. An a fine wurl he's 
makin it too.” 

Roger nodded politely. 

“An now before we executin you, wite boy, you lookin roun. See wot the
black man can do by hiself.” He turned to the crowd. “Where's Hub Cap?” 
he asked. 

“Here, Big Lucas!” a youth called. 

“Come up here,” ordered the Main Man. 

A teenager in his early twenties strolled up. 

“Hub Cap this is witey,” Big Lucas said, making long-winded never-ending
introductions. “You show him roun then bring him back here for the 
executin.” 

“I say, do you really have to execute me?” Roger asked. “I mean, I could
just go.” 

Big Lucas grinned at him. “Oh you'll be goin, wite boy...goin t' meet
you Maker.” He turned to Hub Cap. “Have the wite boy back here in two 
hours,” he ordered him. “Otherwise you makin this execution a duet.” 

Hub Cap nodded. “Yes sir, Boss,” he said. 

Big Lucas strolled over to the crowd and opened his arms to them.
“Bruthas an sistas,” he said, a twinkle in his voice, “let's get this 
execution party unda way!” 

The crowd cheered wildly and Roger, predictably, fainted.
