"Well," said John, laughing, "how do you interpret that dream?"

"In this way. I think that the will is going to be found some day, and that I shall be the one to find it."

"I certainly hope you will. It would make a great change in my circumstances."

"What'll you give me if I find it, John?"

"A gold watch," said John.

"Well, that's worth working for."

"You seem to be in earnest about it."

"There's many a true word spoken in jest. The time may come when I shall remind you of your promise."

"I hope it will. You will find that I keep my promises."

"All right. Well, there's the squire looking out the window, so I'll leave you. Good luck!"
