"I adjure thee, boy, touch not the cup of another's happiness, or it may imbitter thy tongue. But if thou be foolish an' take it up, mind ye do not drop it." "I shall be careful I shall neither taste nor drop it," said Trove.
Some multimillionaire will pay double that some day, when the dealers have taken their whack. And never minding the seed pearls, you've got quarts of baroques there. And baroques are coming into fashion. They're picking up and doubling on themselves every year." Hall gave the trove of pearls a closer and longer scrutiny, estimating the different parcels and adding the sum aloud.
There was in his nature a wonderful resiliency that never let his spirits drop beyond a certain point, and that always brought them back to highwater mark at the slightest encouragement. He had discovered the school library. It was to him a marvellous treasure trove. Any book could be taken home, one at a time, after being registered with the teacher acting as librarian for the day.
But this much he did know these towers had been built by the bald spacemen, and they were highly important to that vanished stellar civilization. The information in this room, as disjointed as it had been for him, led to a treasure trove on Topaz greater than he had dreamed. Travis swayed on the bench. To know so much and yet so little!
Love has nothing to say to 'perhaps': it is will or shall, and takes no 'perhaps' though a thousand times repeated! "And you intend to marry this treasure trove of the forest perhaps?" continued Angelique, tapping the ground with a daintier foot than the Intendant had ever seen before. "It depends much on you, Mademoiselle des Meloises," said he.
There were remarks and initials at the side of the papers; and some of the remarks were rather more severe than the papers. The initials belonged to men who are all dead or gone now; but they were great in their day. Mrs. Hauksbee read on and thought calmly as she read. Then the value of her trove struck her, and she cast about for the best method of using it.
Snow lay deep and level in the woods a big, white carpet, seamed with tiny tracks and figured with light and shadow. Trove stopped a moment, looking up at the forest roof. They could hear a baying of hounds in the far valley. Down the dingle near them a dead leaf was drumming on a bough a clock of the wood telling the flight of seconds.
In Hillsborough, where all spoke of him as an odd man of great learning, there were none, saving Trove and two or three others, that knew the tinker well, for he took no part in the roaring gossip of shop and store. "Hath it ever occurred to thee," said Darrel, as they walked along, "that a fool is blind to his folly, a wise man to his wisdom?"
He never came back. Up an' down, over an' across they looked for him, night an' day, but were no wiser, A month went by an' not a sight or sign o' him, an' their hope failed. One day the father he got a note, I remember reading it in the papers, sor, an' it was a call for ransom money one hundred thousand dollars." "Kidnapped!" Trove exclaimed with much interest.
Then Trove invited Darrel to address the school. "Dear children," the tinker began with a smile, "I mind ye're all looking me in the face, an' I do greatly fear ye. I fear I may say something ye will remember, an' again I fear I may not. For when I speak to the young ah! then it seems to me God listens. I heard the teacher speaking o' the law of obedience.
