Chapter 16: The Safe Deposit Box
Palmetto Trust opened its doors at nine on Monday, and we were the first people through them.
The branch on Broad Street had marble floors and a brass rail, and the manager came out of his glass office when he saw Jonas.
He was a heavy, tired man in his fifties who shook Jonas's hand and then looked at me.

"You have your father's eyes, Miss Habersham," he said.
"I'd like to see box 114," I said. "It was my father's."
"It's held jointly with Mrs. Habersham. I can't open it for you without a court order."
"Then open it for yourself," Jonas said, "and tell us what's in it."
The manager rubbed the back of his neck.
"Come downstairs," he said at last. "I won't let you touch anything, but you can look."
