hitting him, then he beg'd 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 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 drew his Trigger fired again but made
no discharge. he threw his Pistol upon the Ground,
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 snapped
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 purpose then and 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? Yes, said I to him,
the manner in which you have behaved today,
is as noble as it is honest, I am satisfied,
and forget all that has passed; upon that
we were reconciled in good earnest.
