Not that I was an habitual ferrailleur.

As I have indicated, I had fought but one man in all my life.

Nor yet am I of those who are said to know no fear under any circumstances.

Such men are not truly brave; they are stupid and unimaginative, in proof of which I will advance the fact that you may incite a timid man to deeds of reckless valour by drugging him with wine.

But this is by the way.
