Did they remain there a few seconds, fifteen minutes or longer? They could never tell, so greatly were they terrified. As Montfanon had anticipated, the conditions of the duel were terrible. For Pietrapertosa, who seemed to direct the combat, after having measured a space sufficiently long, of about fifty feet, was in the act of tracing in the centre two lines scarcely ten or twelve metres apart.
It sufficed him to conceive the plan of a reparation of years, and to respect himself for it as if that was really sufficient for the difficult task. At least during the eight days which lapsed between that conversation and their departure he strictly observed the promise he had given his wife. In vain did Cibo, Pietrapertosa, Hafner, Ardea try to see him.
If Pietrapertosa and Cibo had ceased since morning to believe in the jettatura of the "some one" whom neither had named, it must be acknowledged that they were very unjust, for the good fortune of having gained something wherewith to swell their Parisian purses was surely naught by the side of this to have to discuss with the Cavals, the Machaults and other professionals the case, almost unprecedented, in which they were participants.
"It is the last Wednesday of old Duchess Pietrapertosa, and after her grandson's recent kindness " "She is so ugly," said Alba, "will you sacrifice me to her?" "Then there is my compatriot, who goes away tomorrow and of whom I must take leave this evening, Madame de Sauve, with whom you met me at the museum .... You will not say she is ugly, will you?"
"When one is to fight a duel," continued Pietrapertosa, sententiously, "one should see neither one's wife nor one's mistress. Madame Gorka suspects nothing, I hope?" "Absolutely nothing," replied Boleslas; "you are right. I should have done better not to have left you. But, here I am. We will exorcise dismal thoughts by playing cards and supping!"

"Yes," resumed Cibo, "if it were only the two successive duels of Henry de Pene." "Which furnish authority," concluded Pietrapertosa. "Authority has nothing to do with it," again exclaimed Montfanon.
