My friends,—I have spare blankets, and I shall need no more; The tenth man can have my bed, and I’ll sleep on the floor. In room marked A two men were placed; the third was lodged in B; The fourth to C was then assigned, the fifth retired to D; In E the sixth he tucked away, in F the seventh man, The eighth and ninth in G and H, and then to A he ran (Wherein the host, as I have said, had laid two travellers by); Then taking one—the tenth and last—he lodged him safe in I: Nine spare rooms—a room for each—were made to serve for ten. And this it is that puzzles me and many wiser men.

- [(93)] The difficulty is to determine what
would have been the will of the testator had he foreseen that his wife would
be delivered of twins. As he desired that in case his wife brought
forth a son he should have ⅔ of his property, and the mother ⅓,
it follows that his intention was to give his son a sum double to
that of the mother; and as he desired in the other case that if she
brought forth a daughter the mother should have ⅔ and the daughter ⅓,
there is reason to conclude that he intended the share of the mother
to be double that of the daughter; consequently, to unite these two
conditions, the heritage must be divided in such a manner that the
son may have twice as much as the mother, and the mother twice as
much as the daughter. Thus we get—
