"When I come to fight a duel," he would say, "I shall choose pistols. With that weapon, I'm sure of killing my man." One evening, he went to the theatre with two ladies, quite young, friends of his, whose husbands were also of the party, and after the performance he invited them to take ices at Tortoni's. They had been sitting there for a few minutes when he noticed a gentleman at a neighbouring table staring obstinately at one of the ladies of the party. She seemed embarrassed and ill at ease, and bent her head. At last she said to her husband:"There's a man staring at me. I don't know him; do you?"The husband, who had seen nothing, raised his eyes, but declared: "No, not in the least."
