'You have seen the gold?'
'But I have not found it.'
'You have dug out the quartz yourself and followed the entire process, to the last washing and sifting. Will not that content you?'
'I brought home with me some of the auriferous stone, and crushed it myself, and washed it myself, but not a particle of gold was there.'
'Simply because you took pieces in which there was no gold. Gold is not so common as hornblend.'
'Nor, apparently, as discernible in the stone. Look here, father-in-law that want to be.'
'I won't be spoken to in this style.'
'You want me to marry Orange, do you not?'
'I do not care a penny about you. All I care for is poor Orange, and her feelings.'
'You are ready to pay me five thousand pounds for taking Orange off your hands, are you not?' asked the imperturbable Captain.
