Peter Cotterell's Treasure

This book, re-edited and illustrated by e-kitap projesi and published again in ebook format. In this book, telling that Cooterells adventures, and so was a treasure adventure, Naturally then Ben felt that this puzzle of Peter Cotterells treasure was right in his line, and the finding of the half-sheet of parchment whetted his appetite to discover more. He walked about the room, whittling shavings right and left, he sat down and kept on whittling, he stood up again, and since by now the willow-stick had been whittled down to almost nothing, he threw what was left in the fireplace.That done, he went to a bookcase and took down from the shelf on top the old notebook that Tuckerman had found in his uncles bedroom. He thumbed the pages until he came to the place where Tuckerman had inserted a slip of paper. Ben read the words at the top of the page out loud. Find the mahogany-hued man with the long, skinny legs and look in his breast pocket. Thats a saying my father handed down. What can it mean? Ben looked at the desk. Well, weve done that, anyhow. He shook his head in deep thought. I dont understand why that piece of parchment wasnt discovered before. They might not have taken the desk to be the mahogany man; but surely Crusty Christopher or his father would have known of those three little drawers. However, they might have found that writing and left it there. Thats possible, of course. Probably it didnt tell them any more than its told us so far.
