(You mean a professional - he hasn't any nature at all?)
Yeah, a professional - dey tell me he has no nature. He has plenty women round him an' prob'bly - he kills they nerves, that is his woman. They tell me that a professional witchcraft or root worker, he has no women. [This is my only example of the belief - but see No. 429, p.135.] An' dey can't work on white folks like dey can on colored folks. (Why is that?) I don't know - I give you a definite answer, I don't know.
