Tom, do you believe that you could possibly have been deceived as to the valued of this mining property ?" "I do not believe it possible, sir," Tom replied, as steadfastly as before.

"In the face of anything that might be said, Hazelton and I will continue to claim that you have bought a property here worth more than you have paid for it." "Then I apologize, Don Luis, for what might have seemed to be slighting language," Mr.Haynes continued, bowing to the Mexican.
"You will understand, of course, what good reason I had to be anxious." "Say no more, senor.

You had most excellent reasons," smiled Don Luis, at ease once more.

"I cannot blame you in the least for your passing doubts, but I am glad they have been set at rest by these capable and honest young engineers.

And now, Senores Reade and Hazelton, shall we resume our interrupted ride in the car ?".
