"And I want you to be my second: for as soon as ever he gets out on parole, I mean to challenge him, and the duel must be a l'ontrance." "With the greatest possible pleasure," said his friend. But they had to wait. It was some time before Fontenoy was out on parole.
The overpowering sense of weariness and impatience which must have afflicted the prisoners, as in the case of Villemet, had its simplest and most direct antidote in occupation. A well known German poet has said, that occupation and sympathy are the two great remedies for grief of all sorts. Happily there were a great many of the prisoners who tried the first of these specifics.
Not one of them hesitated a moment, for Villemet was popular among them; and the farmers of Yaxley were, at that time, manly, steady, and obliging fellows, in no wise ashamed to be seen in their place in the house of God. And the race is happily not extinct. "Shall we take pistols?" "Yes. But don't use them if you can possibly help it."
I wish always to regard you as a friend a friend found under circumstances of deep interest to my brother and myself but nothing more; never anything more! Let us join the others."
