[The Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn by Henry Kingsley]@TWC D-Link bookThe Recollections of Geoffrey Hamlyn CHAPTER XVI 10/38
I'll tell you a secret.
I've insured my life very high in favour of my little sister whom I ruined, and who is out as a governess.
If I don't pay up to the last, you see, or if I commit suicide, she'll lose the money.
I pay very high, I assure you. On one occasion not a year ago, I played for the money to pay the premium only two nights before it would have been too late.
There was touch and go for you.
