$\huge\sf\bold\red{A}\pink{n}\orange{s}\green{w}\blue{e}\gray{r}\pink{♡}$

A maid lets Grant into the Pichot kitchen through the back door. She informs him that Mr. Pichot’s brother-in-law, sheriff Sam Guidry, will arrive soon. Grant waits in the kitchen, thinking moodily about his role in Jefferson’s affairs. After half an hour, Grant hears Sam Guidry and his wife Edna arrive at the front door. After another half hour, Edna enters the kitchen. She asks him many questions, but never gives him an opportunity to answer. She drinks bourbon and she says she feels sorry about Jefferson and the murder. After another hour and fifteen minutes, Sheriff Sam Guidry, Henri Pichot, Louis Rougon, and a fat man walk into the kitchen. Guidry asks Grant how long he has been waiting, and Grant tells him flatly, “About two and a half hours.” Grant realizes he should have grinned and said, “Not long,” but his anger and pride prevented him from being submissive. Guidry asks what Grant wants to do with Jefferson, and Grant politely answers that he does not know. After a while, the sheriff informs him that he can see Jefferson in a few weeks, although he thinks Grant’s efforts will fail and Grant should let Jefferson die a “contented hog.” Moreover, the sheriff says that Grant will lose his visiting privileges if he “aggravates” Jefferson.
