You have publicly insulted me in a public place, and I demand a reparation." "In Heaven's name, be it!" says Mr.Washington, with the deepest grief in his face.

"What was it he said?
Confound the militia captain--colonel, what is he?
You've insulted me! Oh, Waring! to think I should be insulted by a captain of militia!" And tears bedewed the noble Captain's cheek as this harrowing thought crossed his mind.
"I insult you, you hog!" the Colonel again yelled out, for he was little affected by humour, and had no disposition to laugh as the others had at the scene.

And, behold, at this minute a fourth adversary was upon him.
"Great Powers, sir!" said Captain Waring, "are three affairs not enough for you, and must I come into the quarrel, too?
You have a quarrel with these two young gentlemen." "Hasty words, sir!" cries poor Harry once more.
"Hasty words, sir!" cries Captain Waring.

"A gentleman tells another gentleman that he will put him across his knees and whip him, and you call those hasty words?
Let me tell you if any man were to say to me, 'Charles Waring,' or 'Captain Waring, I'll put you across my knees and whip you,' I'd say, 'I'll drive my cheese-toaster through his body,' if he were as big as Goliath, I would.

That's one affair with young Mr.
George Warrington.
