Which part of this excerpt from john updike's "the brown chest" shows that the main character finally appreciated the value of his family history?
"and this? " she went on, leaving the bed hanging in a realm of future possibility. her headscarf had slipped back, exposing auburn hair glinting above the vapor of her breath, in evanescent present time.

"what's in it? " she asked.
he said, "i forget, actually." delicately but fearlessly, she lifted the lid, and out swooped, with the same vividness that had astonished and alarmed his nostrils as a child, the sweetish deep cedary smell, undiminished, cedar and camphor and paper and cloth, the smell of family, family without end.
