"Then," I went on, "he met Vissio on the moor?"
"Yes!"
"Came out with his proposition?"
"Yes!"
"Which so enraged the Italian that he knocked the other man down and finally knifed him in accordance with the amiable custom of his country."
"No," the Old Man in the Corner retorted dryly, "I didn't say that."
