my good discovery did not keep me so very long awake
my good discovery did not keep me so very long awake, for on the following day our troop of horsemen returned from San Francisco. Of course I have done very foolish things once and again throughout my life, but perhaps I never did any thing more absurd than during the whole of that day. To begin with, I was up before the sun, and down at the mill, and along the plank, which I had removed overnight, but now replaced as my bridge to the pine-wood pile. Then I gazed with eager desire and fear — which was the stronger I scarcely knew — for the yellow under-gleam, to show the safety of my treasure. There it lay, as safe as could be, massive, grand, and beautiful, with tones of varying richness as the ripples varied over it. The pale light of the morning breathed a dewy lustre down the banks; the sun (although unrisen yet) drew furrows through the mountain gaps; the birds from every hanging tree addressed the day with melody; the crystal water, purer than religion’s brightest dream, went by; and here among them lay, unmoved, unthought of, and inanimate, the thing which to a human being is worth all the rest put together.
This contemplation had upon me an effect so noble that here I resolved to spend my time, for fear of any robbery. I was afraid to gaze more than could be helped at this grand sight, lest other eyes should spy what was going on, and long to share it. And after hurrying home to breakfast and returning in like haste, I got a scare, such as I well deserved, for being so extremely foolish.
The carpentry of the mill-wheel had cheap oakley sunglasses
proved so very stanch and steadfast that even in that raging deluge the whole had held together. It had been bodily torn from its hold and swept away down the valley; but somewhere it grounded, as the flood ebbed out, and a strong team had tugged it back again. And the Sawyer had vowed that, come what would, his mill should work with the self-same wheel which he with younger hands had wrought. Now this wheel (to prevent any warp, and save the dry timber from the sun) was laid in a little shady cut, where water trickled under it. And here I had taken up my abode to watch my monster nugget. I had pulled my shoes and stockings off, and was paddling in the runnel, sheltered by the deep rim of the wheel, and enjoying the water. Little fish darted by me, and lovely spotted lizards played about, and I was almost beginning even to forget my rock of gold. In self-defense it is right to say that for the gold, on my own account, I cared as much as I might have done for a fig worm-eaten. It was for Uncle Sam, and all his dear love, that I watched the gold, hoping in his sad disaster to restore his fortunes. But suddenly over the rim of the wheel (laid flat in the tributary brook) I descried across the main river a moving company of horsemen. These men could have nothing to do with Uncle Sam and his party, for they were coming from the mountain-side, while he would return by the track across the plains.

"Det enda du behöver veta är att vi ska leverera en flicka från ett ställe här i Stockholm. Jag har redan rekognocerat. Vi ska vara maskerade. Jag ordnar fordonet. Dessutom ska vi vakta ett antal människor några dagar. Jag kontaktar dig när det börjar dra ihop sig."
Han tystnade, Luca tittade roat på honom. Kåge undertryckte åter känslan av obehag. Det var något med Luca som fick nackhåren att resa sig. Men Conrad hade ju gått i god för gipskatten. Kåge vände sig framåt och startade bilen.
"Jag behöver väl inte säga att vi aldrig träffats?"väskor
Luca svarade inte utan steg ur, stängde bakdörren och lutade sig fram genom den öppna sidorutan. Hans ansikte kom alldeles för nära.
"Jag har blivit lovad en del ... ska vi kalla det 'utsvävningar'...? Annars får det vara." Luca framförde detta utan att höja rösten men där fanns en underton av slipprig, tillbakahållen liderlighet. Kåge undrade tyst vilka perversiteter Luca hade på sin repertoar. Kåge ryckte på axlarna.
"Det får du ta upp med Conrad." Utan att ta hänsyn till att Luca kunde träffas av dörrkarmen körde han iväg.väska
