The Five Orange Pips
Capítulo 5, Página 7
"When
my
father
took
over
the
Horsham
property,
he
inspected
the
attic
at
my
request.
We
found
the
brass
box
there,
though
its
contents
were
destroyed.
Inside
the
cover
was
a
label
with
the
K.
K.
K.
initials
and
'Letters,
memoranda,
receipts,
and
a
register'
written
beneath.
We
assume
these
described
the
papers
Colonel
Openshaw
had
burned.
Apart
from
that,
the
attic
contained
many
scattered
papers
and
notebooks
about
my
uncle's
life
in
America.
Some
were
from
wartime,
showing
he
was
a
brave
soldier.
Others
were
from
the
Southern
states'
reconstruction
period,
mostly
about
politics,
as
he
clearly
opposed
the
Northern
carpet-bag
politicians."
"Well,
my
father
moved
to
Horsham
in
early
'84,
and
everything
went
well
until
January
'85.
On
the
fourth
day
after
the
new
year,
my
father
cried
out
in
surprise
as
we
sat
at
breakfast.
He
was
holding
a
newly
opened
envelope
in
one
hand
and
five
dried
orange
pips
in
the
other.
He
had
always
dismissed
my
story
about
the
colonel
as
nonsense,
but
now
he
looked
scared
and
confused."
"'What
on
earth
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
exclaimed.
'Here
are
the
letters.
But
what's
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
replied.
'But
the
papers
must
be
those
that
were
destroyed.'"
