Capítulo 9, Página 6
The
whisper
died
wholly
out,
now,
for
the
three
men
had
reached
the
grave
and
stood
within
a
few
feet
of
the
boys’
hiding-place.
“Here
it
is,”
said
the
third
voice;
and
the
owner
of
it
held
the
lantern
up
and
revealed
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
cast
down
their
load
and
began
to
open
the
grave.
The
doctor
put
the
lantern
at
the
head
of
the
grave
and
came
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
growled
a
response
and
went
on
digging.
For
some
time
there
was
no
noise
but
the
grating
sound
of
the
spades
discharging
their
freight
of
mould
and
gravel.
It
was
very
monotonous.
Finally
a
spade
struck
upon
the
coffin
with
a
dull
woody
accent,
and
within
another
minute
or
two
the
men
had
hoisted
it
out
on
the
ground.
They
pried
off
the
lid
with
their
shovels,
got
out
the
body
and
dumped
it
rudely
on
the
ground.
The
moon
drifted
from
behind
the
clouds
and
exposed
the
pallid
face.
The
barrow
was
got
ready
and
the
corpse
placed
on
it,
covered
with
a
blanket,
and
bound
to
its
place
with
the
rope.
Potter
took
out
a
large
spring-knife
and
cut
off
the
dangling
end
of
the
rope
and
then
said:
“Now
the
cussed
thing’s
ready,
Sawbones,
and
you’ll
just
out
with
another
five,
or
here
she
stays.”
“That’s
the
talk!”
said
Injun
Joe.
“Look
here,
what
does
this
mean?”
said
the
doctor.
“You
required
your
pay
in
advance,
and
I’ve
paid
you.”
