CHAPTER THE THIRTEENTH

‘With ease, mademoiselle,’ he countered, catching her blade. It was a curious sight to see how this extraordinary woman, who, it has been

conducted herself in the present encounter; with what dexterity she parried every
blow aimed against her by her adversary, whose head and face, already marked
by various ruddy streams, showed how successfully her own hits had been made;
—how she drew him hither and thither, now leading him on, now driving him
suddenly back; harassing and exhausting him in every possible way, and making
it apparent that she could at any moment put an end to the fight, and only
delayed the finishing stroke to make his punishment the more severe. With your
