It is good likewise for a Decoy to make a half Thrust and recover with the Sword quite distant from you Body, and if the Enemy comes to your Sword, you must disengage and thrust at his Open, and if he makes at your Body, you must volt or oppose with the Hand and thrust where you have Light. The Reprises or Redoubles in advancing are made in Tierce by the same Rules as those within are.
This may be difficult, but it is by no means impossible; and, as a man of sense never attempts impossibilities on one hand, on the other, he is never discouraged by difficulties: on the contrary, he redoubles his industry and his diligence; he perseveres, and infallibly prevails at last.
When they meet together, and the world sits down at an assembly, or in a court of law, or a theatre, or a camp, or in any other popular resort, and there is a great uproar, and they praise some things which are being said or done, and blame other things, equally exaggerating both, shouting and clapping their hands, and the echo of the rocks and the place in which they are assembled redoubles the sound of the praise or blame at such a time will not a young man's heart, as they say, leap within him?
"I will take some, my son, for my seasickness takes the form of a robust appetite; once on shipboard, my hunger redoubles." "I am delighted, Father, at this similarity in constitution. I, too, have a ravenous appetite."
"Sir, my right-hand correspondent is signalling." "Let him signal." "Sir, you have distracted me; I shall be fined." "That will cost you a hundred francs; you see it is your interest to take my bank-notes." "Sir, my right-hand correspondent redoubles his signals; he is impatient." "Never mind take these;" and the count placed the packet in the man's hands.
As they reply that more is needed, he redoubles his appeals and prayers, threading his way in and out among the crowd, making direct for each well-dressed individual with a confidence which renders flight or refusal a shame. Meanwhile the "orchestra" has struck up, and only pauses when the "professor" returns to the centre of the circle to call on all present to unite in prayers for the givers.
I could not, however, detect him in the crowd, who all waved their hats in encouragement to the troops. On they went, descending a steep declivity of the highroad to the bridge. Suddenly the cannonade redoubles from the side of the enemy; the shot whistles through the air, while ten thousand muskets peal forth together. I rivet my eyes to watch the column.
He told us that a placard was at that very moment being printed which declared that "Any one who should be found at a secret meeting would be immediately shot." The placard, in truth, appeared the next morning. Baudin rose up. "The coup d'état redoubles its rage," exclaimed he. "Citizens, let us redouble our energy!" Suddenly a man in a blouse entered. He was out of breath. He had run hard.
It is rare to hear a mother say, "My baby is good it is always asleep." Who has not heard some poor mother shout in a threatening voice to the crying babe in her arms, "Be quiet, be quiet, I tell you!" and then, naturally the child is frightened, and redoubles its cries.
"Your reluctance to speak redoubles my contrition for having displeased you, since it shews the reliance I might have on a promise which you will not give without consideration." "I am very, very much distressed," cried I; "you ask a promise which you must be sensible I ought not to grant, and yet dare not refuse."
