George.—You are as afraid of me as of a ghost.
Doctor.—I thought you were elsewhere.
George.—I am going directly from here to fight. I have still an hour. The duel will take place at Dombrowa, on the Miliszewski's estate—not far from here.
Doctor.—Too near from here.
George.—Miliszewski insisted. And then you will be here to prevent the news from being known until as late as possible.
Doctor.—Doctor Krzycki will be with you?
George.—Yes.
Doctor.—Ask him to send me the news at once. I would go with you, but
I must be here.
George.—You are right. If I am killed?
Doctor.—You must not think of that.
