And the best of it is that weve thought to fetch some stuff along so we can build a fire and have a cooked dinner, George went on to say, with a pleased smile; for while he might be given to doubting many things, he never had occasion to question his appetite as every one knew-that was always in positive evidence.

...muttered skeptical George, who undoubtedly thought this wonderful harvest was too good to turn out to be true; after they had arrived on the ground, very probably it would only be to find that the trees had been[31] stripped of their burden of nuts by some hardy souls who did not place much credence in the stories of the ghost said to haunt the place; something was always on the eve of turning up to keep George from reaping success, it seemed.

...Yes, Im not the only silly believer in ghosts, Chatz told them, looking pleased at what Elmer had just said, for misery always likes company, and youll remember, suh, how the sly old fox that had fallen into a well told the goat looking down that it was a lovely place to drop in; and when Billy had taken him at his word he hopped on the goats back and jumped out.

...And as some of the bunch have started to slip down the trees even now, thinking theyve got enough nuts on the ground to keep them busy picking the same up, well watch until theyve gathered all they want, and then youll see some fun-that is, itll be fun at this end, but a serious business for them.

...Wait till to-night, and I reckon there may be something doing, and then Chatz allowed his brow to show three wrinkles[119] that told of perplexity, for he had heard Elmer chuckle; and all at once it struck him that on the former occasion the scout master had gone back into the house after he and the other comrades had left; and once more the Southern boy who had the vein of superstition in his make-up asked himself what Elmer could have seen on that occasion to make him look so knowing, and have that queer smile cross his face whenever the ghost was mentioned.
