View Full Version : Mistake on the Site
I'm not quite sure where to put this because I'm new but there is a mistake on Anton Chekhovs story "The Bet" on this site, he did'nt go out 5 hours before, he went out 5 minutes before the time was up.

I've checked the e-text on this site with numerous other e-texts and they're all the same, if what you are referring to is the third-last paragraph?
"To prove to you in action how I despise all that you live by, I renounce the two millions of which I once dreamed as of paradise and which now I despise. To deprive myself of the right to the money I shall go out from here five hours before the time fixed, and so break the compact. . . ."
Ya that is the one. In the book i have it says 5 minutes. Also I think 5 minutes would make more sense because it makes it more dramatic.
