Riverbank Walk Amid Black Camp Laughs and Mischief
Erle and three women wander beside the river as white visitors watch black boys slide down a muddy bank and play. A child oversteps boundaries while a Black Mary herds Conrad toward the water. Margaret stays mute with a stern look as Mary’s boastful remark unsettles her. Frau Kramm laughs softly, and Kitty Blair notes a cautious past.
