BLACKMAIL
A very big liner stopped some way from the port. The captain said to the passengers: «You can...visit the port if you want to, but you must...be back on board at 5.30, as the ship is...sail off at 6 o’clock». The ship was too big...dock at the port, and all day the boatmen had...take the passengers to and from the liner.
At about 5 o’clock Miss Merryweather made up her mind...return to the liner.
«Will you...take me over to the liner?» she asked a boatman.
«I will, for 5 dollars», answered the boatman.
«Isn’t it a bit too expensive? I can...pay you 3 dollars. If you don’t agree, I can always...take another boatman».
After a good deal of arguing the boatman agreed...take her over for 3 dollars. When they were about two hundred yards from the liner the boat stopped.
«Is anything the matter? What made you...stop the boat?» asked Miss Merryweather.
«Either you pay me 5 dollars or you may....sit here and watch the ship...sail away without you», answered the boatman.
