Mrs Holdsworth let me inside her house and said Blaze could wait outside. When I told her that he might walk away she just looked at me with shining knowing eyes that ended the discussion.
We sat down at her kitchen table and she served me some chocolate cookies, which I eat to many of.
"Let me think... I believe there was a deed of ownership, but it got lost some years ago. When Thomas Moorland's wife Catherine died in childbed Thomas lost all interest in papers and documents and just wanted to spend thime with his horses. All paperworks was put in a chest and sent over to Catherine's father and there's a great chance that the deed was in that chest."
She drank some tea before the old woman continued.
"Her father is Jesper Holbrook and the child that was born is Justin Moorland. Jasper blames Thomas for Catherine's death and they haven't spoken in twenty years. It's a tragedy that this feud has been going on for so long, but if anyone has the deed it would be old man Jesper. It won't be easy convincing him to part with it, thought. You will probably find Jesper guarding his land at the north-eastern fields.
Good luck talking to him, dear!"
I smiled towards her. "Thank you Mrs Holdsworth"
Blaze turned around before I'd spoke the last word and walked towards that old man Jasper's house. I had to swing myself into the sadle before he was long gone.
