Tales of a Traveler (unsourced)/Part Fourth Introduction

by Washington Irving

Part Fourth: The Money-diggers

[Found among the papers of the late Diedrich Knickerbocker]

Now I remember those old women's words Who in my youth would tell me winter's tales; And speak of spirits and ghosts that glide by night About the place where treasure had been hid.

--Marlow's Jew of Malta
