I
will
fight
him
,
"
he
said
;
"
he
shall
see
if
I
am
afraid
.
"
"
For
Heaven
's
sake
,
"
I
entreated
,
"
do
n't
risk
your
life
against
that
of
a
desperate
man
.
Anybody
who
saw
you
today
will
know
that
you
are
brave
enough
.
"
"
I
will
fight
him
,
"
was
the
sullen
answer
.
"
No
living
man
shall
call
me
a
coward
.
I
am
ready
now
!
"
and
he
stepped
forward
and
lifted
his
axe
.
I
wrung
my
hands
over
this
absurd
piece
of
Quixotism
;
but
if
he
was
determined
on
this
deed
,
of
course
I
could
not
stop
him
.
"
Fight
not
,
my
white
brother
,
"
said
Ignosi
,
laying
his
hand
affectionately
on
Sir
Henry
's
arm
;
"
thou
hast
fought
enough
,
and
if
aught
befell
thee
at
his
hands
it
would
cut
my
heart
in
twain
.
"
"
I
will
fight
,
Ignosi
,
"
was
Sir
Henry
's
answer
.
"
It
is
well
,
Incubu
;
thou
art
a
brave
man
.
It
will
be
a
good
fray
.
Behold
,
Twala
,
the
Elephant
is
ready
for
thee
.
"
The
ex-king
laughed
savagely
,
and
stepping
forward
faced
Curtis
.
For
a
moment
they
stood
thus
,
and
the
light
of
the
sinking
sun
caught
their
stalwart
frames
and
clothed
them
both
in
fire
.
They
were
a
well-matched
pair
.
Then
they
began
to
circle
round
each
other
,
their
battle-axes
raised
.
Suddenly
Sir
Henry
sprang
forward
and
struck
a
fearful
blow
at
Twala
,
who
stepped
to
one
side
.
So
heavy
was
the
stroke
that
the
striker
half
overbalanced
himself
,
a
circumstance
of
which
his
antagonist
took
a
prompt
advantage
.
Circling
his
massive
battle-axe
round
his
head
,
he
brought
it
down
with
tremendous
force
.
My
heart
jumped
into
my
mouth
;
I
thought
that
the
affair
was
already
finished
.
But
no
;
with
a
quick
upward
movement
of
the
left
arm
Sir
Henry
interposed
his
shield
between
himself
and
the
axe
,
with
the
result
that
its
outer
edge
was
shorn
away
,
the
axe
falling
on
his
left
shoulder
,
but
not
heavily
enough
to
do
any
serious
damage
.
In
another
moment
Sir
Henry
got
in
a
second
blow
,
which
was
also
received
by
Twala
upon
his
shield
.
