On the drive back to Washington D C, George and Pauline discussed what was mentioned at the Otey house, especially the cryptic comments made by Mrs Otey. What was George not telling her.
"George, please pray tell what made Mrs Otey balk at the mention of my book, turning a pale ashen white"?
George paused, hands tightened on the steeling wheel, staring straight ahead at the two lane road, then replied," In our search , Clayton and I had several perilous encounters, one being at a deserted moonshine operation, that exploded".
Well I intend to search for the Beale treasure in Bedford, while conducting additional research for my book".
"Just be careful,Pauine, there are unknown hazards in the forest of the Peaks, people have gone in and never returned. You know Ward received this story from his Uncle Morriss, but some of the folks Clayton and I spoke to who remembered the events during that time in Bedford, claim that Ward omitted what really occurred. Some even claimed that there is a curse attached to the Beale treasure, and many who have sought it, disappeared or died a horrible death".
"Superstitions never have frightened me", Pauline replied.
They arrived at Pauline's Georgetown apartment, and George handed her the iron box with the ciphers contained within, saying," Keep this while writing your book, and maybe your fiancé can get those Naval intelligence boys to have a go on breaking those two codes".
