A man named Jepson is having a meeting with Charles Ridgeway concerning his gambling debts. Charles says "Now, Mr. Jepson, you really must let me make you a whiskey and soda. I have some excellent scotch". Jepson says "Never mind that Ridgeway, I've come to find out when you can raise the ten thousand pounds you owe me". Charles says "Yes I see. Well Mr. Jepson, ten thousand is a great deal of money". Jepson says "It's what is needed to cover your notes". Charles says "Yes, that's right, but you know, Mr. Jepson, you might just let me write you one more IOU and try again". Jepson says "Your luck's run out, Ridgeway". Charles says "Well, I wasn't much of a gambler anyhow was I? Perhaps it's just as well I've learned my lesson. How long, Mr. Jepson, would you say I have to raise the money?" Jepson says "Four weeks". Charles says "I see, four weeks. And if I should fail to raise the money?" Jepson makes an unspoken gesture toward Ridgeway, regarding the non-payment of the loan. Charles says "I see. well you make yourself very clear, Mr. Jepson, but then perhaps all's not lost. Mrs. Harter, my aunt, has had the foresight to draw up a new will making me her heir. The money was to go to a niece, my cousin Miriam, but now a new will has been drawn up. Aunt Mary finds me much more satisfactory than poor Miriam. The very spirit of solicitude, I am. Forever inquiring about her health, about her poor, weak heart. Four weeks, is that right, Mr. Jepson?" He says "That's right, Ridgeway. Or else". Charles says " I see, four weeks...or else".
