The cart was “dumped” and a large, lazy-looking Flemish horse was attached to it with a rope harness. Some boards were laid across the cart for seats, the party tumbled into the rustic vehicle, a red-haired boy, son of the old farmer, mounted the horse, and Stratton gave orders to “get along.” “Wait a moment,” said the farmer, “you have not paid me yet,” “I’ll pay your boy when we get to Brussels, provided he gets there within the hour,” replied Stratton.

白话
斯特拉顿租了辆板车,套上一匹懒洋洋的比利时马,用绳子当缰绳。大家挤上车,农夫的红发儿子骑马,斯特拉顿喊“走”。农夫拦住要钱,斯特拉顿说:“到布鲁塞尔一小时内到,我就付你儿子钱。”这招把风险转给车夫:你慢就赚不到钱。谈生意时,把付款和对方承诺的结果绑在一起,比空口催促更有效。
