"No hast," was the response; "but if thou lock not up the gates incontinent, and give the keys to me " The keys were in Aumerle's pocket the next minute.
This accident seemed an ill omen, but he put it from his thoughts, and scrawled a hasty letter to Charles Aumerle, asking him to be his second. This he delivered himself at Aumerle's chambers in St. James's Place, saying that he would call for an answer at nine. But Aumerle, ever fond of adventures, was at Vigo Street at half-past eight.
