The Five Orange Pips
Capítulo 5, Página 7
"When
my
father
took
over
the
Horsham
property,
he
checked
the
attic
as
I
asked.
We
found
the
brass
box
there,
but
its
contents
were
destroyed.
Inside
the
cover
was
a
label
with
the
KKK
initials
and
'Letters,
memoranda,
receipts,
and
a
register'
written
below.
We
assumed
these
were
the
papers
Colonel
Openshaw
had
burned.
The
attic
held
many
scattered
papers
and
notebooks
about
my
uncle's
life
in
America.
Some
were
from
the
war,
showing
he
was
a
brave
soldier.
Others
were
from
the
reconstruction
of
the
Southern
states,
mostly
about
politics,
as
he
strongly
opposed
the
Northern
politicians."
"In
early
'84,
my
father
moved
to
Horsham,
and
everything
went
well
until
January
'85.
On
the
fourth
day
of
the
new
year,
I
heard
my
father
cry
out
in
surprise
at
breakfast.
He
sat
with
an
opened
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's
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's
no
other,'
I
said.
'But
the
papers
must
be
those
that
were
destroyed.'"
