So it was entered down on the little books that Boffer was to kill himself within ten days, or Wilkins Flasher, Esquire, was to hand over to Frank Simmery, Esquire, the sum of ten guineas; and that if Boffer did kill himself within that time, Frank Simmery, Esquire, would pay to Wilkins Flasher, Esquire, five guineas, instead.
Így hát beírták a kis könyvekbe, hogy Boffer tíz napon belül öngyilkos lesz, s ha nem, akkor Wilkins Flasher úr köteles lefizetni Frank Simmery úr kezéhez tíz guineát; ha pedig Boffer ennyi idő alatt megöli magát, akkor Frank Simmery úr fog Wilkins Flasher úrnak öt guineát fizetni.
