The Five Orange Pips
Capítulo 5, Página 7
"When
my
father
got
the
Horsham
property,
I
asked
him
to
check
the
attic,
which
was
always
locked.
We
found
the
brass
box
there,
but
its
contents
were
gone.
Inside
the
lid
was
a
paper
label
with
the
K
letters
and
'Letters,
memoranda,
receipts,
and
a
register'
written
under
it.
We
think
these
were
the
papers
Colonel
Openshaw
destroyed.
There
wasn't
much
else
in
the
attic,
just
many
papers
and
notebooks
about
my
uncle's
life
in
America.
Some
were
from
the
war
and
showed
he
was
a
brave
soldier.
Others
were
about
politics
during
the
reconstruction
of
the
Southern
states."
"It
was
early
1884
when
my
father
moved
to
Horsham,
and
everything
was
fine
until
January
1885.
On
the
fourth
day
after
New
Year,
my
father
cried
out
in
surprise
at
the
breakfast
table.
He
held
an
envelope
in
one
hand
and
five
dried
orange
pips
in
the
other.
He
had
always
laughed
at
my
story
about
the
colonel,
but
now
he
looked
scared
and
confused."
"'What
does
this
mean,
John?'
he
stammered."
"My
heart
sank.
'It
is
K.
K.
K.,'
I
said."
"He
looked
inside
the
envelope.
'So
it
is,'
he
said.
'Here
are
the
letters.
But
what
is
written
above
them?'"
"'Put
the
papers
on
the
sundial,'
I
read
over
his
shoulder."
"'What
papers?
What
sundial?'
he
asked."
"'The
sundial
in
the
garden.
There
is
no
other,'
I
said.
'But
the
papers
must
be
the
ones
that
were
destroyed.'"
