I'm wonderin', though, why all them hired hands should be givin' us the merry face. I don't mind admittin' that this treasure-huntin' stuff does get you.

Be sure they're all members of the Ancient and Honorable Firemen's Association." "Hire 'em for what?" "Treasure-huntin' crew. I'll go with you. I'm their foreman, and I can make them keep their mouths shut.
