"I'm more excited than I ever was in my life. It's too deep to come to the surface, I guess. I haven't any words for it.",Bob kept still, feeling that he would soon know what Miguel planned to do with the explosive, for if whatever plan the Mexican had conceived was not to be consummated to-night, it was evident that he would have buried the additional stuff he had brought instead of digging up his cache.，“There’s nary a piece left, that greedy boy et it orl up.”，Diligently as Betty had tended this little garden, it was considered to be a family possession, the child’s own particular treasures lying beyond its fragrant border.
