The story, however, that Graves was so much affected that thereafter he could never sleep in a darkened chamber had no foundation whatever, a fact I learned from my associate in the old Louisville Journal and later in The Courier-Journal, Mr. Isham Henderson, who was a brother-in-law of Mr. Graves, his sister, Mrs. Graves, being still alive. The duello died at length.
Then she laid the glittering circlet in my mother's hands; and Tom Faggus took it eagerly, and bore it to the window. 'Don't you go out of sight, I said; 'you cannot resist such things as those, if they be what you think them. 'Jack, I shall have to trounce thee yet. I am now a man of honour, and entitled to the duello. What will you take for it, Mistress Lorna? At a hazard, say now.
It had been a battle-royal, and, but for her arrival with the fresh squadrons, not one among her countrymen would have lived to tell the story of this terrible duello which had been as magnificent in heroism as any Austerlitz or Gemappes, but which would pass unhonored, almost unnamed, among the futile, fruitless heroisms of Algerian warfare. "Is he killed?
William Riddell, the minister of Mosskirk, was out of the canons of the duello, and the laird, therefore, instead of calling him out, was compelled to be satisfied with disinheriting Ellen, who, under circumstances which fully exonerated her from her father's tyrannical wishes, became William's wife.
You have been mutually wounded; but it was in fair duello," this I said feigning ignorance of the coward blow that so nearly reached my dear love's heart, "and now, Don Pedro, it would be the more honourable to set free the countryman of your promised bride and send him in safety to his friends."

Have him seized and secure him in prison, where he shall rot for I declare to you, as surely as there are stars above, these letters of the divine volume in which soothsayers read, he will be your death in the end unless you are his." "I would not be contented with that. I want to return him blow for blow and yet you say I cannot fight him in duello." "Listen, my officer.
Again and again the game resolved itself into a duello between Acton and Aspinall, and Bourne, when he saw the dealings with the International and his wiles, smiled easily. He saw the school was stronger than he thought. The interval came with the score standing at two against us.
Those feelings had been freely expressed; and Burr's letters discover that he was fully aware of the distrust and hostility with which he was regarded by his political associates and opponents. A man has no claim to satisfaction for an insult given years ago. The entire theory of the duello makes it impossible for one to ask redress for an injury which he has long permitted to go unredressed.
Then he mounted his elephant and driving into mid-field, cried out, 'Who is for duello, who is for derring do, who is for knightly devoir? When King Teghmus heard this, he said to his troops, 'Which of you will do single battle with this sworder?
