Secondly, you do not appear to know how a real duel is conducted;  do you suppose that we should have faced each other in this lonely spot, like two highwaymen, without seconds or doctors, etc. etc.? Thirdly, with regard to the question of duelling, we each have our own opinions, and do not require to be waylaid and surprised by the sort of instruction you may feel disposed to give us." SECONDLY YOU DO NOT APPEAR TO KNOW HOW A REAL DUEL IS CONDUCTED DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE FACED EACH OTHER IN THIS LONELY SPOT LIKE TWO HIGHWAYMEN WITHOUT SECONDS OR DOCTORS ET CETERA THIRDLY WITH REGARD TO THE QUESTION OF DUELLING WE EACH HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS AND DO NOT REQUIRE TO BE WAYLAID AND SURPRISED BY THE SORT OF INSTRUCTION YOU MAY FEEL DISPOSED TO GIVE US
tionally once and for all, and reduce it to plain terms; lay its pitiable narrowness bare, and let it be the touchstone, not of your hearts but of your minds. If you do not regret it then, it will merely show that your head is not fitted for work in a sphere where great gifts of discrimination are needful in order to burst the bonds of prejudice, and where a well-balanced understanding is necessary for the purpose of distinguishing right from wrong, even when the difference between them lies deeply hidden and is not, as in this case, so ridiculously obvious.
