 "Beauty," sez Digger, sudden-like, "An' love, an' kindliness; The chance to live a clean, straight life, A dinkum deal for kids an' wife: A man needs nothin' less. . . . Maybe they'll get it when I go To push up daisies. I dunno."

"Dreamin'," sez Digger Smith. "Why not? There's visions on the hill.". . . Then I gets up an' steals away, An' leaves 'im with the dyin' day, Dreamin' an' doubtin' still. . . . Cobber, it's up to me an' you To see that 'arf 'is dream comes true.
