"I came for another purpose, too. Do you remember those old papers in the trunk in the garret?"
"Those thet belonged to your father an' grandfather?"
"Yes. Well, I am going to look them over and see if they are of any value."
"Ain't nuthin' of any use, Nat. I looked over 'em myself, one rainy day when I didn't have nuthin' else to do."
"Mr. Garwell thinks some of them might be valuable."
"Does he know about 'em?"
"He only knows what I told him."
"The old debts is all outlawed."
"But there are other papers—something about some land grandfather had an interest in."
"I don't know nuthin' about that. It's so long ago, I don't believe they are worth a cent."
