拜访

It is true, he was never employed in the latter, the numerous family he had to educate and the straitness of his Circumstances keeping him close to his trade: but I remember well his being frequently visited by leading men, who consulted him for his opinion in public affairs, and those of the church he belonged to, and who showed a great respect for his judgment and advice: he was also much consulted by private persons about their affairs when any difficulty occurred, and frequently chosen an arbitrator between contending parties.

公共事务，他从未服务过，负担这个人口众多的家庭，这种窘迫的环境把他束缚在商业上；但我很清楚的记得常有领袖人物来拜访，他们征询他对于镇上事务的意见，或是关于他所进的教会内，他们对于他的审判和忠告甚为佩服，他也常和外人筹划他们的事务，若遇有困难时，便被推选为双方争吵的调解人。

在我们驱车去开罗镇途中，迪克回忆起了那次拜访：他刚到镇上，就被警告不许使用他旅馆内的电话，因为接线员是白人市民理事会的一员；白人商店主宁愿关门都不屈服于抗议者的要求：雇用黑人；当地的黑人居民告诉他，他们在取消学校的种族隔离方面所做的努力，他们的担心和挫败感，对黑人处私刑、监牢内自杀、枪战和暴乱的故事。
