ACTE III, SCÈNE XIII
1: comme le bronze: the usual simile with calme in such contexts. Use an equivalent: «Bold as brass.»
2: le terrain: the stock phrase for any place where a duel is fought. Tr., on the field of honor. This lets the secret out, at which Daniel uttersan exclamation of pain, since the ladies were not to be told.
3: faire prévenir: send word to. Lit., «get somebody to notify.»
