The Bet (BookRags) What was ironic about the physical description of the lawyer in "The Bet"? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 10:23 Last updated by anonymous on 04 Sep 21:24
The doctor describes him one way, but in fact, he's the other. He says that he's a skeleton with the skin drawn tight over his bones and half dead. We find out later, of course, that he's not like that at all.
