The little man thus appealed to nodded his head. He agreed with all his companion said. "It's quite true," said he, after a pause. "Rubies, sapphires and gold, enough to make us all millionaires times over." "Bravo for Sengkor-Wat, then!" said Hayle. "But how do you know all this?" "I've told you already that Coddy found it out," Kitwater replied.
You've got a use for sapphires, the like of which mortal man never set eyes on before." "That's certainly so," Hayle replied. "But what has this Sengkor-Wat to do with it?" "Everything in the world," Kitwater replied. "That's where those rubies are, and what's more, that's where we are going to find them." "Are you joking, or is this sober earnest?" He looked from Kitwater to Codd.
Then Coddy began to look around, to hunt up some of his fusty records, and after awhile he began to think that there might be something in the story after all. You see it's this way: you know Sengkor-Wat?" "Sengkor how much?" "Sengkor-Wat the old ruin at the back of Burmah; near the Chinese Border. Such a place as you never dreamt of.
"Now what we have to do is to arrange the business part of the matter, and then to get away as quickly as possible." The business portion of the matter was soon settled and Hayle was thereupon admitted a member of the syndicate for the exploration of the ancient town of Sengkor-Wat in the hinterland of Burmah. For the remainder of the day Hayle was somewhat more silent than usual.
"Now then, Gideon, my worthy friend, what have you got to say about the business?" asked Kitwater, as he wiped the perspiration from his brow. "You pretended to doubt my story. Was there anything in the old Frenchman's yarn after all. Were we wasting our time upon a fool's errand when we set off to explore Sengkor-Wat?" Hayle looked at him somewhat sheepishly.
