The doctor came along and demanded his money. The man did want to pay. "Didn't you make the bargain that if you'd kill her or cure her that I was to give you fifty pounds"? says the man. "Yes" says the doctor. "well, you didn't kill her or cure her" says the man. "She died". The doctor had to go without anything.
