Moreover, the people here who lost also dragged their feet on paying out the money, just like before. They kept delaying, saying they'd pay today, then tomorrow, then in a couple of days, then when they had more money.

Everyone crowded around to support the event, but as soon as the music started playing, everyone suddenly fell silent.
