Young Lennox, turning away, sheathed his weapon.
"Well done, Robert!" said Willet.
De Mezy put his hand to his face, which was wet with perspiration, and steadied himself.

He had grown quite dizzy in the last few moments, and the pulses in his head beat so heavily that he could neither see nor think well.

He was conscious that he stood unarmed before a victorious foe, but he did not know Robert had put away his sword.
"Why don't you strike ?" he muttered.
"Mr.Lennox is satisfied," said Nemours.

"He does not wish the combat to go further." "Unless Captain de Mezy insists on another trial," said de Galisonniere, smiling a little, "but if he will take the advice of a countryman of his he will let the matter rest where it is.

Enough has been done to satisfy the honor of everybody." He and Nemours exchanged significant glances.
