Quote #10

Attean held the watch even more carefully. There was no mistaking that he was pleased and impressed. Probably, Matt thought, Attean would never learn to use it. The sun and the shadows of the trees told him all he needed to know about the time of day. But Attean knew that Matt's gift was important. (22.34)

Attean scorns the tools of white folks, but Matt is his friend—even his brother—so though the watch is something Attean may never use, he will never, ever, scorn it either.
