" But you are sure you are ready now ? " he queried. " Quite ready ? Do not let me" — with a backward glance — "take you by surprise ! " Ampoule began to think that it would not be without trouble he would draw his adversary within reach. The duels of those days, be it remembered, were not formal.
9* 132 THE ABBESS OF VLAYE Often men fought without seconds ; sometimes in full armour, sometimes in their shirts. Advantages that would now be deemed dishonourable were taken by the most punctilious.... So, to lure on his man and show his own contempt for the affair, Ampoule tossed up his sword, and caught it again by the hilt. "I'm ready!" he said. He came forward three paces, and again tossing up his sword, recovered it.
But the masked man seemed to be unwilling to quit the shelter of the drawbridge ; so unwilling that Roger, who had taken up his position on the bridge behind him, felt his cheek grow hot. His ally had proved himself such a master of tongue fence as he had never imagined.
