Denton had fortunately found kind and intelligent people.
We said good-bye to the Mexican girl.

I made Schwartz give her one of his gold pieces.
But Denton could not wait for us to say "hullo" even, he was so anxious to get back to town, so we mounted the horses he had brought us, and rode off, very wobbly.
We lived three weeks in Mollyhay.

It took us that long to get fed up.
The lady I stayed with made a dish of kid meat and stuffed olives-- Why, an hour after filling myself up to the muzzle I'd be hungry again, and scouting round to houses looking for more to eat! We talked things over a good deal, after we had gained a little strength.

I wanted to take a little flyer at Guaymas to see if I could run across this Handy Solomon person, but Denton pointed out that Anderson would be expecting just that, and would take mighty good care to be scarce.

His idea was that we'd do better to get hold of a boat and some water casks, and lug off the treasure we had stumbled over.
Denton told us that the idea of going back and scooping all that dinero up with a shovel had kept him going, just as the idea of getting even with Anderson had kept me going.
