translation.ca: Fumaren i parlotejaren a l'ombra, i després cavaren una mica en llur darrer forat, no pas amb gran esperança, sinó solament perque Tom digué que hi havia molts de casos que la gent havia deixat córrer un tresor després de haver foradat fins a una distancia de sis polzades de on era, i després havia vingut algú altre i l'havia descobert d'una palada, només.
translation.en: They had a smoke and a chat in the shade, and then dug a little in their last hole, not with great hope, but merely because Tom said there were so many cases where people had given up a treasure after getting down within six inches of it, and then somebody else had come along and turned it up with a single thrust of a shovel.
