As little notice as possible was taken of one's own or one's parent's weaknesses, one was among equals and understood one another. After school one "held the reviews," sneaked into a cafe and drank a liqueur, and finally went to the fencing-room.
Jacques Rival received the arrivals at the entrance to his apartments, then he pointed to a small staircase which led to the cellar in which were his shooting-gallery and fencing-room, saying: "Downstairs, ladies, downstairs. The match will take place in the subterranean apartments." Pressing Du Roy's hand, he said: "Good evening, Bel-Ami." Du Roy was surprised: "Who told you about that name?"
So he hired a fencing-room, in which he gave his lessons by day, and after midnight returned to the haunted house.
There were upon the walls some shelves filled with volumes and all the old paraphernalia of a fencing-room: broken masks, rusty foils, breast-plates, and gloves that were losing their tow.
And Therese would naturally give the key of the fencing-room to her dear, virtuous, grateful, disinterested cousin, to that damned soul with delicate whiskers, because she would think it just possible that Rita might have locked the door leading front her room into the hall; whereas there was no earthly reason, not the slightest likelihood, that she would bother about the other.
He thought that the knowledge might be of the greatest importance to him during his life, so he at once went with the Sergeant into the fencing-room. "You see, Mr Bracebridge," observed his instructor, "if you had a real sword in your hand, you would give your opponent such a cut round the wrist that he would probably be unable to hold a weapon again for many a month afterwards."
