Then, with a smile whose bitterness it would be impossible to describe, he added: "They brought me ill-luck. Good-night! Sir John.
I went around to the other side of the island, where the counterfeiters' hole is, to look into it while the morning sun on the lake threw a reflection." "There's nothing wonderful to be seen there."
