Excerpt from The Trials of Life, Vol. 2 of 3

A few hours brought Montresor a civil note from M. De Landes, fixing the neighbouring forest as the place of meeting with De Vivier, and an early hour the day following, to prevent interruption. He offered him the use of his arms, and told him he was to choose what weapon he thought fit. Nothing could be more indifferent to Adolphus, who was an equally good fencer and marksman. He thanked him, therefore, and declined choosing, then sat down to consider what was to become of Algernon, in case he fell. His affairs were easily settled, and his mind yet more easily made up.
