If those were worth fifty thousand pounds, these must be of fabulous value. Any other person in the wide world might have been excused if he pinched himself, or winked furi ously, or took out the gold-filled tobacco pouch for careful inspection, to assure himself that he was not dreaming. Not so, Philip. The only dominant feel ing in his brain was one of annoyance that he should have doubted, for one single instant, that means would be given him to secure absolute and undisputed control of his ...treasure. But there remained the problem of weight. His original idea was to wrap the actual body of the meteor in the stout sack he obtained from O Brien, and then inclose all his valuables in a tin trunk which he would purchase next morning. Any ordinary trunk would certainly be spacious enough, but its phenomenal weight would unquestionably evoke more comment than he desired, and it would need two strong men to lift it. This portion of his plan needed to be entirely re modeled, and he was now more than ever thankful that the Jew s fifty pounds, save one expended, reposed in his pocket.
