MY DEAREST EFFl,
:33:51
BE AT THE USUAL PLACE AGAlN TODAY.
:33:56
I have asked you to come for two reasons.
:33:59
To issue a chaIIenge on my behaIf...
:34:02
and to act as my second in the dueI.
:34:05
The first is not agreeabIe,
the second even Iess so.
:34:08
And what is your answer?
:34:11
You know l am at your service.
:34:15
But before l know more,
forgive a naive question.
:34:18
Does it have to be?
:34:20
We're both too old...
:34:23
you to take a pistol in the hand...
:34:26
and l to assist you in the deed.
:34:28
Don't misunderstand me.
:34:30
That doesn't mean l'm saying no.
:34:33
How could l refuse you anything?
:34:36
But tell me what it's all about?
:34:39
lt concerns a suitor of my wife...
:34:42
who was also a friend of mine, or almost.
:34:45
That's impossible!
:34:47
lt's not only possible, it's a fact.
:34:50
Read these!
:34:54
Addressed to your wife?
:34:55
l found them in her sewing table.
:34:58
-And who wrote them?
-Major Crampas.
