‘
Certainly
not
,
’
replied
Mr
.
Snodgrass
.
The
offer
relieved
him
from
considerable
embarrassment
,
for
his
previous
notions
of
loading
a
pistol
were
rather
vague
and
undefined
.
‘
We
may
place
our
men
,
then
,
I
think
,
’
observed
the
officer
,
with
as
much
indifference
as
if
the
principals
were
chess
-
men
,
and
the
seconds
players
.
‘
I
think
we
may
,
’
replied
Mr
.
Snodgrass
;
who
would
have
assented
to
any
proposition
,
because
he
knew
nothing
about
the
matter
.
The
officer
crossed
to
Doctor
Slammer
,
and
Mr
.
Snodgrass
went
up
to
Mr
.
Winkle
.
‘
It
’
s
all
ready
,
’
said
he
,
offering
the
pistol
.
‘
Give
me
your
cloak
.
’
‘
You
have
got
the
packet
,
my
dear
fellow
,
’
said
poor
Winkle
.
‘
All
right
,
’
said
Mr
.
Snodgrass
.
‘
Be
steady
,
and
wing
him
.
’
It
occurred
to
Mr
.
Winkle
that
this
advice
was
very
like
that
which
bystanders
invariably
give
to
the
smallest
boy
in
a
street
fight
,
namely
,
‘
Go
in
,
and
win
’
—
an
admirable
thing
to
recommend
,
if
you
only
know
how
to
do
it
.
He
took
off
his
cloak
,
however
,
in
silence
—
it
always
took
a
long
time
to
undo
that
cloak
—
and
accepted
the
pistol
.
The
seconds
retired
,
the
gentleman
on
the
camp
-
stool
did
the
same
,
and
the
belligerents
approached
each
other
.
Mr
.
Winkle
was
always
remarkable
for
extreme
humanity
.
It
is
conjectured
that
his
unwillingness
to
hurt
a
fellow
-
creature
intentionally
was
the
cause
of
his
shutting
his
eyes
when
he
arrived
at
the
fatal
spot
;
and
that
the
circumstance
of
his
eyes
being
closed
,
prevented
his
observing
the
very
extraordinary
and
unaccountable
demeanour
of
Doctor
Slammer
.
That
gentleman
started
,
stared
,
retreated
,
rubbed
his
eyes
,
stared
again
,
and
,
finally
,
shouted
,
‘
Stop
,
stop
!
’
‘
What
’
s
all
this
?
’
said
Doctor
Slammer
,
as
his
friend
and
Mr
.
Snodgrass
came
running
up
;
‘
that
’
s
not
the
man
.
’
‘
Not
the
man
!
’
said
Doctor
Slammer
’
s
second
.
