The settler's town is a strongly-built town, all of stone and steel. It is a brightly-lit town; the streets are paved with asphalt, and the garbage-cans swallow all the leavings, all the wet and dirty garbage which the settler's refuse to touch. The settler's feet are never visible, except perhaps in the sea; but there you're sure to find no dirt. The settler's town is a town of white people, of foreigners.
