Fair and square, Nic., keeps friends together.

There have been laid out in this lawsuit, at one time, 36,000 pounds and 40,000 crowns.

In some cases I, in others you, bear the greatest proportion.
NIC FROG .-- Right; I pay three-fifths of the greatest number, and you pay two-thirds of the lesser number.

I think this is fair and square, as you call it.
JOHN BULL .-- Well, go on.
NIC FROG .-- Two-thirds of 36,000 pounds are 24,000 pounds for your share, and there remains 12,000 for mine.

Again, of the 40,000 crowns I pay 24,000, which is three-fifths, and you pay only 16,000, which is two-fifths; 24,000 crowns make 6,000 pounds, and 16,000 crowns make 4,000 pounds; 12,000 and 16,000 make 18,000, 24,000 and 4,000 make 28,000.
