Old Professor Flashy’s first law of economics is that the time to beware of a pretty woman is not when you’re flush with cash (well, you know what she’d after, and what’s a bankroll more or less?), but when you’re short of the scratch, and she offers to set you right. Because that ain’t natural, and God knows what she’s up to.
Flashman and the Dragon, p.9, Fontana Paperback edition, 1986.
