Hist, Miguel, hist! said one, fearful that their companions should hear them.

Where dost purpose to hide thy wealth? It will never do to place it where others may come and seize it.

Fear not for that, man, there are plenty of places where none will think of hunting; the earthquake has stood our friend in this case, as in many others,

Say then, Miguel, where wouldest advise to hide it--under the ruins of some church or other?
human
No, fool, no; the churches were too full of gold, and numbers will soon go to dig for it, answered his companion.
gpt
That would never do. Hark thee, Baltar! There are plenty of vaults under the monasteries and convents, where no one will think of going. Who will take the trouble to dig out the lazy monks or nuns? So come along; we have no time to lose, and then we may set to work and gain more.
