does "Big Papa"here= her father?
‘Amelia, what does it signify?’ Cousin Lymon asked her.
‘Why, it’s just an acorn,’ she answered. ‘Just an acorn I picked up on the afternoon Big Papa died.’
‘How do you mean?’ Cousin Lymon insisted.
‘I mean it’s just an acorn I spied on the ground that day. I picked it up and put it in my pocket. But I don’t know why.’
‘What a peculiar reason to keep it,’ Cousin Lymon said.
