Capítulo 9, Página 6
The
whispering
stopped
completely
now,
for
the
three
men
had
reached
the
grave
and
stood
just
a
few
feet
from
the
boys’
hiding
spot.
“Here
it
is,”
said
the
third
voice;
and
its
owner
held
up
the
lantern,
revealing
the
face
of
young
Doctor
Robinson.
Potter
and
Injun
Joe
were
carrying
a
handbarrow
with
a
rope
and
a
couple
of
shovels
on
it.
They
dropped
their
load
and
began
to
open
the
grave.
The
doctor
placed
the
lantern
at
the
head
of
the
grave
and
sat
down
with
his
back
against
one
of
the
elm
trees.
He
was
so
close
the
boys
could
have
touched
him.
“Hurry,
men!”
he
said
in
a
low
voice;
“the
moon
might
come
out
at
any
moment.”
They
grumbled
a
response
and
continued
digging.
For
a
while,
the
only
sound
was
the
grating
of
the
shovels
moving
soil
and
gravel.
It
was
very
monotonous.
Finally,
a
shovel
hit
the
coffin
with
a
dull,
wooden
thud,
and
within
another
minute
or
two,
the
men
had
lifted
it
out
onto
the
ground.
They
pried
off
the
lid
with
their
shovels,
took
out
the
body,
and
dumped
it
roughly
on
the
ground.
The
moon
emerged
from
behind
the
clouds,
revealing
the
pale
face.
The
barrow
was
prepared,
and
the
corpse
was
placed
on
it,
covered
with
a
blanket,
and
tied
down
with
the
rope.
Potter
took
out
a
large
spring-knife
and
cut
off
the
dangling
end
of
the
rope,
then
said:
“Now
the
cursed
thing’s
ready,
Sawbones,
and
you’ll
just
hand
over
another
five,
or
here
she
stays.”
“That’s
the
talk!”
said
Injun
Joe.
“Look
here,
what
does
this
mean?”
said
the
doctor.
“You
demanded
your
pay
in
advance,
and
I’ve
paid
you.”
