Because
,
sir
,
"
said
the
president
,
"
you
have
insulted
a
man
,
and
that
man
will
not
go
one
step
farther
without
demanding
honorable
reparation
.
"
"
'
"
Another
method
of
assassination
?
"
said
the
general
,
shrugging
his
shoulders
.
"
'
"
Make
no
noise
,
sir
,
unless
you
wish
me
to
consider
you
as
one
of
the
men
of
whom
you
spoke
just
now
as
cowards
,
who
take
their
weakness
for
a
shield
.
You
are
alone
,
one
alone
shall
answer
you
;
you
have
a
sword
by
your
side
,
I
have
one
in
my
cane
;
you
have
no
witness
,
one
of
these
gentlemen
will
serve
you
.
Now
,
if
you
please
,
remove
your
bandage
.
"
The
general
tore
the
handkerchief
from
his
eyes
.
"
At
last
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
shall
know
with
whom
I
have
to
do
.
"
They
opened
the
door
and
the
four
men
alighted
.

"
Franz
again
interrupted
himself
,
and
wiped
the
cold
drops
from
his
brow
;
there
was
something
awful
in
hearing
the
son
read
aloud
in
trembling
pallor
these
details
of
his
father
's
death
,
which
had
hitherto
been
a
mystery
.
Valentine
clasped
her
hands
as
if
in
prayer
.
Noirtier
looked
at
Villefort
with
an
almost
sublime
expression
of
contempt
and
pride
.
Franz
continued
:
--
"
'
It
was
,
as
we
said
,
the
fifth
of
February
.
For
three
days
the
mercury
had
been
five
or
six
degrees
below
freezing
and
the
steps
were
covered
with
ice
.
The
general
was
stout
and
tall
,
the
president
offered
him
the
side
of
the
railing
to
assist
him
in
getting
down
.
The
two
witnesses
followed
.
It
was
a
dark
night
.
The
ground
from
the
steps
to
the
river
was
covered
with
snow
and
hoarfrost
,
the
water
of
the
river
looked
black
and
deep
.
One
of
the
seconds
went
for
a
lantern
in
a
coal-barge
near
,
and
by
its
light
they
examined
the
weapons
.
The
president
's
sword
,
which
was
simply
,
as
he
had
said
,
one
he
carried
in
his
cane
,
was
five
inches
shorter
than
the
general
's
,
and
had
no
guard
.
The
general
proposed
to
cast
lots
for
the
swords
,
but
the
president
said
it
was
he
who
had
given
the
provocation
,
and
when
he
had
given
it
he
had
supposed
each
would
use
his
own
arms
.
The
witnesses
endeavored
to
insist
,
but
the
president
bade
them
be
silent
.
The
lantern
was
placed
on
the
ground
,
the
two
adversaries
took
their
stations
,
and
the
duel
began
.
The
light
made
the
two
swords
appear
like
flashes
of
lightning
;
as
for
the
men
,
they
were
scarcely
perceptible
,
the
darkness
was
so
great
.
"
'
General
d'Epinay
passed
for
one
of
the
best
swordsmen
in
the
army
,
but
he
was
pressed
so
closely
in
the
onset
that
he
missed
his
aim
and
fell
.
The
witnesses
thought
he
was
dead
,
but
his
adversary
,
who
knew
he
had
not
struck
him
,
offered
him
the
assistance
of
his
hand
to
rise
.
The
circumstance
irritated
instead
of
calming
the
general
,
and
he
rushed
on
his
adversary
.
But
his
opponent
did
not
allow
his
guard
to
be
broken
.
He
received
him
on
his
sword
and
three
times
the
general
drew
back
on
finding
himself
too
closely
engaged
,
and
then
returned
to
the
charge
.
At
the
third
he
fell
again
.
They
thought
he
slipped
,
as
at
first
,
and
the
witnesses
,
seeing
he
did
not
move
,
approached
and
endeavored
to
raise
him
,
but
the
one
who
passed
his
arm
around
the
body
found
it
was
moistened
with
blood
.
The
general
,
who
had
almost
fainted
,
revived
.
"
Ah
,
"
said
he
,
"
they
have
sent
some
fencing-master
to
fight
with
me
.
"
The
president
,
without
answering
,
approached
the
witness
who
held
the
lantern
,
and
raising
his
sleeve
,
showed
him
two
wounds
he
had
received
in
his
arm
;
then
opening
his
coat
,
and
unbuttoning
his
waistcoat
,
displayed
his
side
,
pierced
with
a
third
wound
.
Still
he
had
not
even
uttered
a
sigh
.
General
d'Epinay
died
five
minutes
after
.
'
"
Franz
read
these
last
words
in
a
voice
so
choked
that
they
were
hardly
audible
,
and
then
stopped
,
passing
his
hand
over
his
eyes
as
if
to
dispel
a
cloud
;
but
after
a
moment
's
silence
,
he
continued
:
--
"
'
The
president
went
up
the
steps
,
after
pushing
his
sword
into
his
cane
;
a
track
of
blood
on
the
snow
marked
his
course
.
