After changing clothes, Davie and Mr. Rankeillor continue talking. They talk about how Ebenezer and Davie's father (named Alexander) were brother with Ebenezer being the youngest. In their youth they both fell for Davie's mom and she chose Alexander. But Alexander felt bad and they struck a deal: Alexander got the girl and Ebenezer got the money. However, because the deal wasn't legal Davie has the right to the inheritance. The process to get the money will be tough though.
But Davie doesn't want the estate, just some money to make a decent living. He comes up with a plan that involves Alan. At first Rankeillor doesn't like it, but he soon begins to agree. Davie takes Rankeillor to meet Alan. However, Rankeillor is smart and "accidentally" leaves his glasses behind. This means that he will not really be able to see Alan, and therefore cannot swear in court that he ever saw the man.
