Morgan found a piece of gold . He held it up with a perfect spout of oaths . It was a two-guinea piece , and it went from hand to hand among them for a quarter of a minute . `` Two guineas ! '' roared Merry , shaking it at Silver . `` That 's your seven hundred thousand pounds , is it ? You 're the man for bargains , ai n't you ? You 're him that never bungled nothing , you wooden-headed lubber ! '' `` Dig away , boys , '' said Silver with the coolest insolence ; `` you 'll find some pig-nuts and I should n't wonder . '' `` Pig-nuts ! '' repeated Merry , in a scream . `` Mates , do you hear that ? I tell you now , that man there knew it all along . Look in the face of him and you 'll see it wrote there . '' `` Ah , Merry , '' remarked Silver , `` standing for cap'n again ? You 're a pushing lad , to be sure . '' But this time everyone was entirely in Merry 's favour . They began to scramble out of the excavation , darting furious glances behind them . One thing I observed , which looked well for us : they all got out upon the opposite side from Silver . Well , there we stood , two on one side , five on the other , the pit between us , and nobody screwed up high enough to offer the first blow .
Silver never moved ; he watched them , very upright on his crutch , and XXXXX as cool as ever I saw him .
