the occasion, importuning me very warmly to fire
a second time, I then charged his other Pistol; I
fired at him but without hitting him, he then
begged me to be content, and to dispense with
his adding a Crime to what he had already to
reproach himself. I flatter myself, answered I,
to him, that you will not offer to give me offence
a second time in your Life, and I should look upon
it as a very great one if you do not fire this
instant, He then fired again, but made no
discharge. He threw his Pistol on the Ground,
devochef begging from henceforward me repeatedly to be content with
what had passed. no, said I to him, I shall not
till you have fired and hit me with effect; upon which
he took the Second Pistol which flashed as
the first had done, he threw that on the Ground,
saying you see how fortune interposes, and
will not let you suffer any more by me.
Prince you offend me more than you are aware
of; Fire, and fire to the purpose take good aim. I absolutely
mean you should; then his Second presented
him a Pistol with which he fired and missed
me. my dear Count, says, he, are you content?
