When Cutler found that Steve was my second he cooled down; he became calm and rational, and was ready to listen.

Steve gave him fifteen minutes to get out of the hotel, and half an hour to get out of town or there would be results.

So _that_ duel went off successfully, because Mr.Cutler immediately left for Carson a convinced and reformed man.
I have never had anything to do with duels since.

I thoroughly disapprove of duels.

I consider them unwise, and I know they are dangerous.
