"Well, you see I am by no means a dead man, and as I have no desire to die of starvation I have come to you."
"To me?"
"Yes."
"And why?"
"You are rich."
"I am worth nothing, only such as my husband gives me."
"Well, you'll have to strike him for a loan on my account."
"What do you mean?"
"I need money."
"I can't help you."
