Capitolo 92
We separated soon. The men of science were commonly jubilant. The
interest of diamond exhibited a corresponding depression. If these news
them it was true they foresaw a crisis. Every eye grew weak. It was a
terrible business.
Charles walked homeward with the Teacher. He softly sounded him/it as
to the in demand sum, you/he/she should have need rises, to purchase his/her secretiveness.

been disclosed. Strange to say, each of the three gives diamonds
to the three kings of diamond resulted for being a more inferior and
stone without value; while each of the three intrusteds to the care of
the scientific investigators resulted to be an excellent gem of the
purer quality.
I confess it was sufficiently a mistrustful conjunction. The three
representatives of the interest of diamond looked fixed to each other with
side-look inquiring. Then their eyes suddenly fell: they avoided
each other. If each had independently replaced a weak and inferior
