"SILAS SIMMS, Atty." Felix read the letter several times and his knees shook visibly. He did not want to pay over such an amount, yet it struck him with terror when he thought he might possibly be arrested for fast driving. He went to see Mr. Silas Simms. "I am very sorry," he began. "Have you come to pay?" demanded the attorney, curtly. "Well--er--the fact is--don't you think you are asking rather a stiff price, Mr. Simms?" "Not at all! Not at all, sir! I ought to have placed the damages at three hundred!" "I'll give you fifty dollars and call it square." "No, sir, a hundred and fifty! Not a penny less, not one penny! Look at my nose, sir--all scratched! And my ear! Not a penny less than one hundred and fifty dollars!" And the lawyer pounded on his desk with his fist.
The World English Bible (WEB): Genesis

Book 01 Genesis 001:001 In the beginning God{After "God," the Hebrew has the two letters "Aleph Tav" (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet) as a grammatical marker.} created the heavens and the earth. 001:002 Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. 001:003 God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 001:004 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. 001:005 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. There was evening and there was morning, one day. 001:006 God said, "Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters." 001:007 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. 001:008 God called the expanse sky. There was evening and there was morning, a second day. 001:009 God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;" and it was so.
"All right then, I'll pay you, but you must give me a receipt in full," answered the dude. He had to wait until the bank opened, that he might cash a check, and then he paid over the amount demanded. The lawyer drew up a legal paper discharging him from all further obligations. Felix read it with care and stowed it in his pocket. "And now let me give you some advice, Mr. Gussing," said the lawyer, after the transaction was concluded. "Don't drive such a wild horse again." "Depend upon it, I never shall," answered the dude. "It costs too much!" he added, with a faint smile. "Are you well acquainted with horses?" "No." "Then you had better leave them alone altogether." "I have already made up my mind to do so." CHAPTER X.
