Hullo
,
you
fellows
,
"
he
cried
,
"
here
's
a
recess
.
Great
heavens
!
see
here
.
"
We
hurried
up
to
where
he
was
standing
in
a
nook
,
shaped
something
like
a
small
bow
window
.
Against
the
wall
of
this
recess
were
placed
three
stone
chests
,
each
about
two
feet
square
.
Two
were
fitted
with
stone
lids
,
the
lid
of
the
third
rested
against
the
side
of
the
chest
,
which
was
open
.
"
See
!
"
he
repeated
hoarsely
,
holding
the
lamp
over
the
open
chest
.
We
looked
,
and
for
a
moment
could
make
nothing
out
,
on
account
of
a
silvery
sheen
which
dazzled
us
.
When
our
eyes
grew
used
to
it
we
saw
that
the
chest
was
three-parts
full
of
uncut
diamonds
,
most
of
them
of
considerable
size
.
Stooping
,
I
picked
some
up
.
Yes
,
there
was
no
doubt
of
it
,
there
was
the
unmistakable
soapy
feel
about
them
.
I
fairly
gasped
as
I
dropped
them
.
"
We
are
the
richest
men
in
the
whole
world
,
"
I
said
.
"
Monte
Christo
was
a
fool
to
us
.
"
"
We
shall
flood
the
market
with
diamonds
,
"
said
Good
.
"
Got
to
get
them
there
first
,
"
suggested
Sir
Henry
.
We
stood
still
with
pale
faces
and
stared
at
each
other
,
the
lantern
in
the
middle
and
the
glimmering
gems
below
,
as
though
we
were
conspirators
about
to
commit
a
crime
,
instead
of
being
,
as
we
thought
,
the
most
fortunate
men
on
earth
.
"
Hee
!
hee
!
hee
!
"
cackled
old
Gagool
behind
us
,
as
she
flitted
about
like
a
vampire
bat
.
"
There
are
the
bright
stones
ye
love
,
white
men
,
as
many
as
ye
will
;
take
them
,
run
them
through
your
fingers
,
eat
of
them
,
hee
!
hee
!
drink
of
them
,
ha
!
ha
!
"
At
that
moment
there
was
something
so
ridiculous
to
my
mind
at
the
idea
of
eating
and
drinking
diamonds
,
that
I
began
to
laugh
outrageously
,
an
example
which
the
others
followed
,
without
knowing
why
.
There
we
stood
and
shrieked
with
laughter
over
the
gems
that
were
ours
,
which
had
been
found
for
us
thousands
of
years
ago
by
the
patient
delvers
in
the
great
hole
yonder
,
and
stored
for
us
by
Solomon
's
long-dead
overseer
,
whose
name
,
perchance
,
was
written
in
the
characters
stamped
on
the
faded
wax
that
yet
adhered
to
the
lids
of
the
chest
.
Solomon
never
got
them
,
nor
David
,
or
Da
Silvestra
,
nor
anybody
else
.
We
had
got
them
:
there
before
us
were
millions
of
pounds
'
worth
of
diamonds
,
and
thousands
of
pounds
'
worth
of
gold
and
ivory
only
waiting
to
be
taken
away
.
