My dad was a bit of a hard nut. I saw that he did help people.
At that moment Jesse loved his father more than he had ever loved him. He felt that his father had carried him through a mighty test, had revealed to him a great secret which would be the key to his life forever.

A man does not speak a lie to his son. Remember that always. To say My father told me is to swear the greatest oath.
