Greyle and Audrey were at that moment in consultation with Sir Cresswell Oliver and Copplestone the bank manager burst in on them without ceremony. "I say, I say!" he exclaimed excitedly. "Will you believe it! the gold's come back! It's all safe every penny. Bless me! I scarcely know whether I'm dreaming or not. But we've got it!" "What's all this?" demanded Sir Cresswell. "You've got that gold?"
'The governor's a hot un, he said 'he's a fair hot un when he's at work. But for a heart well, I'm damned if gold's in it with him! In a month's time from this Paul's soul sat chuckling all day long. He lived with the quaintest set he had ever conceived, and there was no page of 'Nickleby' which was fuller of comedy than a day of his own life.
Middleton, and others, and among other things about a very rich widow, young and handsome, of one Sir Nicholas Gold's, a merchant, lately fallen, and of great courtiers that already look after her: her husband not dead a week yet. She is reckoned worth L80,000.

"Gold's a cursed thing," said the Padre reflectively. "Yet none of 'em seem to shy at the curse." Buck smiled in his slow way. "No. Not without experiencing it." The Padre's eyes were still serious. Then he went on, "We shan't farm any up there at the fur fort?" Buck shook his head. "It means clearing every inch of land we need. Guess we best hunt, as we said. We'll make out with pelts.
The gold's weighing us down, so what we've got to do is to get rid of it." "You're surely not going to throw it away after all we've gone through," said Bradby, aghast at the proposal. "No, I'm not," Cumshaw told him. "What I suggest is that we hide it somewhere handy, make a note of the spot, and then clear out of this particular section for a time.
"It is certainly hard to identify coin, and it would be a bold man who should stand up, in open court, and make oath to its being the same he had once held. I have heard of the same gold's having answered the purposes of twenty banks, one piece being so like another." "Ay, ay, sir, gold is gold; and any of it is good enough for me, though doubloons is my favourites.
The magnificent Abbey Church was as imposing as any we have left to us, but not a vestige remains except the fragmentary wall on Gold's Hill and the foundations quite recently uncovered and surveyed. One of the most interesting discoveries is that of a twisted column in the floor of the crypt that is thought to be part of the martyr's shrine.
"When we started out that day from the Big Chimney, we thought we'd be made if only we managed to reach Minóok." "Well, we've got what we came for each got a claim." "Oh, yes." "A good claim, too." "Guess so." "Don't you know the gold's there?" "Yes; but where are the miners? You and I don't propose to spend the next ten years in gettin' that gold out."
If we find but a speck of gold in one of them I'll believe that quartz river is gold's home if not, it is all humbug!" George pulled a wry face; he found himself pinned to his own theory. "Well," said he, "I own the sample tells us what is in the barn; so now I am vexed for bringing you here." "Now we are here, give it a fair trial; let us set to and break every bowlder in the thundering heap."
