Take your bumper again, and pledge me: Long live the noble art of fencing, and your series: quarte, tierce and side-thrust!" "They'll live," replied Allertssohn, "ay, they'll live. Many hundreds of noble gentlemen use the sword in this country, and the man who sits here has taught them to wield it according to the rules.

If on the Engagement without, he comes to your Sword with his Fort, you must cut under in Seconde, if with his Feeble, disengage or cut over the Point in Quarte. When you are engaged within the Sword.

In two minutes I had his whole budget of the art laid bare to me; he had but four parries quarte and tierce for the high lines, with septime and second for the low ones and had never seen a counter-parry or lunge in the whole course of his misspent life. "Little hero!" thought I, "thou art a spitted cockerel already, and yet hope, the blind, the ignorant, has no suspicion of it!"

Birds twittered, and shook the snow from the shrubbery of the Duke's garden; the river cried below the arches, but not loud enough to drown the sound of stumbling steps, and Montaiglon threw a glance in the direction whence they came, even at the risk of being spitted on his opponent's weapon. He parried a thrust in quarte and cried, "Stop! stop! Remettez-vous, monsieur! Here comes a woman."

'But, mark you! when you would lunge, direct your point upwards rather than down, for otherwise you must throw your wrist open to your antagonist, who can scarce fail to disarm you. In quarte, tierce, or saccoon the same holds good.

Mons. Jourdain. Etes-vous fou de l'aller quereller' lui qui entend la tierce et la quarte, et qui sait tuer un homme par raison demonstrative? Le Maitre a Danser. Je me moque de sa raison demonstrative, et de sa tierce et de sa quarte. Moliere.

You must take notice, that in a Pass in Quarte with it's Joining, there are but three Steps, and that in the Passes in Tierce and Seconde there are four. The first, passing the Left-foot before the Right; the second, advancing the Right to seize the Sword; the third, bringing up the Left-foot a little, and the fourth, bringing back the Right, presenting the Point.

"La notta tutte dormeno, E io che buò dormire! Pensanno a Nenna mia Mme sent' ascevolì. Li quarte d' ora sonano A uno, a doje e tre... Io te voglio bene assaje, E tu non pienz' a me!" Look, now, at this beautiful morning the wide bay all of silver and azure Vesuvius sending its column of dusky smoke into the cloudless sky the little steamer churning up the clear as it starts away from the quay.
