Is treasure perhaps of equal worth

With aught conceal’d beneath the earth.”

With look of conscious proud delight,

She caught the sound of, “Kate, thou’rt right;”

While a “small voice” responsive join’d

Applausive music in her mind.

And, eying Whang with thought profound,

Saw in his look, on her that bent,

A meaning most intelligent.
