He insisted upon placing the rope around her neck himself. Er bestand darauf, ihr das Seil selbst um den Hals zu legen. They unlocked them, took off the rope that was binding them and then 20 minutes later they were locked and bound again. Man entriegelte die Türen, nahm das Seil ab, mit dem man sie verbunden hatte, und dann, 20 Minuten später, waren die Türen wieder verschlossen und zusammengebunden. It is clear that salvation is not to be found in the markets alone, and the old saying that 'financiers support the state just as a rope supports a hanged man' is confirmed. Es ist klar, dass die Märkte nicht die alleinige Rettung sind und dass sich die alte Redensart bestätigt, wonach "die Finanziers dem Staat soviel Halt bieten wie das Seil einem Gehängten".
