You\u003cbr\u003eknow--all full of pebbles, like coarse gravel pressed into a mass.\u003cbr\u003eOr--or like a fruit cake.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere was a note of earnestness in Billy Worth's voice, as if he felt\u003cbr\u003ehis words to be of great importance and desired that his hearers be\u003cbr\u003eimpressed accordingly. That his communication did have reference to an\u003cbr\u003eimportant matter was made most apparent, perhaps, by the response it\u003cbr\u003eelicited, also earnestly spoken:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"And if no one has disturbed them, the chances are the rocks are there\u003cbr\u003eyet,\" said Phil Way. \"I mean that, although the heaving of the ground,\u003cbr\u003eas it froze and thawed winter after winter, would probably throw the\u003cbr\u003epile down, the three different stones would still be close together for\u003cbr\u003eyears upon years.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"And I'll be standing here for years upon years without starting this\u003cbr\u003eengine if you don't give me a spark! Almost breaking myself in two, and\u003cbr\u003eyou sit there threshing over that old stone pile again! Did you think I\u003cbr\u003ewas working this crank handle just for exercise?\" These remarks, both\u003cbr\u003eearnest and emphatic, came from a young gentleman who stood at the front\u003cbr\u003eof a large touring car, the forward seats of which vehicle were occupied\u003cbr\u003eby the two whose words have been earlier noted. \"Or did you think I was\u003cbr\u003etrying an experiment in perpetual motion?\" he added, with equal sarcasm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMr. Billy Worth, at the steering wheel, laughed good-naturedly. \"I\u003cbr\u003esolemnly beg your pardon, Mac,\" he said. \"I was thinking of those three\u003cbr\u003estones. Now you're all right!\" So saying, he moved the quadrant to the\u003cbr\u003epoint at which there was a spark advanced to set the automobile's engine\u003cbr\u003echugging when his friend with the crank handle had again given it an\u003cbr\u003einitial motion.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080221311216,"sku":"2940014335317","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014335317_p0.jpg?v=1763606400","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014335317","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
