Miss Emma confronted Grant with his lie. We also learned that she was forced to hit Jefferson because he kept saying that he was a hog. Miss Emma and Tante Lou tell Grant to go back, but Grant says that all Jefferson does is try and make him feel guilty, just like he does when Miss Emma visits him. Grant goes back to visit Jefferson and "sizes up" the deputy. We find out that the deputy is actually a decent guy. He introduces himself as Paul and says that they might as well call each other by name. Paul tells Grant how Jefferson is doing, and says that he'll treat him well, and do his duty. Grant responds that he feels the same way. Paul is saying that he will fulfill his responsibility and Grant realizes he needs to do the same thing. It's interesting that it took a white man to get Grant to realize this.
