I satisfied myself an hour ago that Scharnhoff was the bait, which the redoubtable Major Jimgrim would be watching.

Perhaps I shall deal with Scharnhoff afterwards--hee-hee!--who knows?
Now--now shall we fight that duel?
Are you ready ?" I supposed that meant that he could not see me and had given up hope of it.
