“Yes, sir, all the way.”
“Did you tell them you had removed the stakes?”
“No, sir, I didn’t.”
“Did they know it?”
“No, sir, they didn’t. Not one of ’em. I didn’t tell anybody, not even Gran’pap.”
“Did any one ask you to remove those stakes?”
“No, sir, not any one.”
“Then why did you do it?”
“Well, I just thought they had no right to set ’em where they did. I thought they wouldn’t ’a’ done it if Gran’pap had been there. I thought if I pulled ’em out, they couldn’t build any railroad through the graveyard. And then, I got very angry at the engineer for what he said to me when I asked him about the railroad.”
