Weapons of Mystery

CHAPTER X
16/19

He is at once a viper, a villain, and a coward.

I leave this house; I renounce pleasant society; I leave this country--for ever; but before I go I would like to fight hand to hand with that giant, who--Ha!" He stood close to me and spat at me.
"There!" he cried, and then he struck me in the face with all his strength.
Instantly I leapt to my feet.
