Q1: what does "more up on "mean? does this "up"= more agree with?
Shaking his head, Corbett tipped back in his chair. “You’re going to have to explain that one. All I see is the guy who got caught sleeping with Landon’s wife breaking into Landon’s house to dig a big hole in his basement.”
“It’s as much my house as his.”
“How do you figure?”
“I’m a direct descendant of Violeta Landon.”
“Sorry, I’m not real familiar with the Landon family tree.” He glanced at Vinnie now. “Are you more up on that, Deputy?”
“Sure. She’s the one who supposedly rescued the seaman who sur-vived the wreck of the Calypso way back when. Nursed him back to health. Some versions have them bumping hips, and getting caught at it.”
“It wasn’t a seaman, but the captain. Captain Nathanial Broome.” Suskind tapped his fist on the table now. “He didn’t just survive, he survived with Esmeralda’s Dowry.”Q2: what does "have them bumping hips"mean?
