He put Tinkler and the seal in one pocket, gathered up the moon-seeds and put them in the other, drew the old newspapers over him and went to sleep. The morning sun woke him. "How odd," said he, "to dream all that weeks and weeks, in just a little bit of one little night! If it had only been true!" He jumped up, eager to start for Gravesend.
So Dickie said, and they stood, and he spread the moon-seeds out, and he wished to be with the party of men who were hiding the treasure. But before he spread out the seeds he took certain other things in his left hand and held them closely. And instantly they were.
The nurse had shown him how to do all this. "Against the earth spirits and the three hundred years," she said. Now she lifted the jar into the hole, and together they filled the hole with earth, treading it in with their feet. "And when you would return," said the nurse, "you know the way." "Do I?" "You lay the rattle, the seal, and the moon-seeds as before, and listen to the voices."
"Yah!" "I want an omelet with green peppers!" "Liver and bacon for mine!" "Ham and eggs! Plenty of gravy!" "Yah!" "Coffee with my order, Adolph!" "Yah!" "And say, I want some of those rolls with moon-seeds on top, Adolph! Don't forget!" "Nein!" "And my coffee comes with my steak, not afterward. Hoch der Kaiser!" "Shure!" "How's the soup, Adolph?" "Fine und hot!" "That's good! One on you, Tom!"
"If you say so," said Dickie rather discontentedly. "The time is not ripe for thee to take up all thine honors there," she said. "And now, dear lamb, since thy tutor is imagining unkind things in his heart for thee, go quickly. Set out thy moon-seeds and, when thou hearest the voices, say, 'I would see both Mouldiwarps, and thou shalt see them both." "Thank you," said Dickie.
The children blinked. Dickie and Tinkler and the white seal were gone, and only the empty ring of moon-seeds lay on the sand. "Shocking bathing fatality," the newspapers said. "Lord Arden drowned. The body not yet recovered." It never was recovered, of course. Elfrida and Edred said nothing. No wonder, their elders said. The shock was too great and too sudden.
