Hi,
What is the meaning of" And I will go to my grave with that story" in the following text:
Ftacher asked the tanner if there had ever been , to his knowledge, sludge of any kind dumped on the fifteen acre land.
"No!" said the tanner. "Never. Never in my knowledge. Absolutely never."
"Even assuming that sludge was deposited at any time on the fifteen acres, would that sludge contain any of the chemicals in this case?"
"No!" said the tanner, his voice growing louder. "Absolutely not! Without question! And I will go to my grave with that story"
Thanks
I will go to my grave is a fancy way of saying I will I die. The tanner means he will continue to say 'no' until he dies, ie for the rest of his life.
