The contest between the two parties bore some resemblance to the fencing-match in Shakspeare; "Laertes wounds Hamlet; then, in scuffling, they change rapiers, and Hamlet wounds Laertes."
Grant, you must see that the history of your relations with this lady, though, if I may use the phrase, perfectly innocent, may possibly supply that which is at present lacking a clew, shall I term it, to the motive which inspired the man, or woman, who killed her?" P.C. Robinson was all an eye and an ear for this verbal fencing-match.

Bayonet-fighting today is not a pretty thing to see it is not an artistic fencing-match in which men give and take it is slaughter inevitable and quickly over. Dietz lunged once madly at Olson's throat. A short point, with just a twist of the bayonet to the left sent the sharp blade over the Englishman's left shoulder.

She raised her large, soft eyes to his and insisted: "Come, stay with us Bel-Ami we need you!" He replied: "I obey with pleasure, Madame!" Suddenly Jacques Rival's voice announced: "We will begin, ladies." Then followed the fencing-match. Du Roy retained his place beside the ladies and gave them all the necessary information.
