Hic iam illa inter virum et uxorem nota collusio: qui amplam stipem mulieri detulerunt, nemo eos observat, suo arbitratu discedunt; qui inaniores venere, signo dato pro adulteris deprehenduntur, et quasi ad discendum venerint, non prius abeunt quam aliquid scripserint.
And yes, there is that famous arrangement between husband and wife: those who bring the woman a generous fee go unobserved and leave when they choose, but if they come with too little, at a given signal they find themselves trapped like men caught in adultery, and as if they had come to learn a lesson they leave only after writing something first.
