Ken: Ted! Thank heaven! I was getting desperate. Ted: Hello there, Ken. Where are Jeff and the rest of the men? Ê å n: They left me in the tent with some eggs and some bread, and off they went.
Ted: Where were they heading?
Ken: West. In that direction. They said they'd bury the treasure under the dead elm — you remember, by the bend in the fence — and get back by sunset.
Ted: All ten of them went?
Ken: They said the chest was heavy.
Ted: They left — when?
Ken: Yesterday, between ten and eleven.
Ted: And you let them?
Ken: There were ten of them ...
Ted: Well, my friend, I reckon that's the end of the adventure. We'll never see the treasure chest or any of those ten men again.
