"A dollar and a quarter."
Another had borrowed $15 on agreeing to refund $30, which was afterwards increased to $60 and then to $105. He has been imprisoned three years.
He said it was his fault for persuading me to do it, and that I shouldn't suffer for it. But he never kept his word. "Last week I asked him for the last time if he would refund the money, and he laughed at me and said that I had risked it and ought to accept my losses with good grace.
