"You did insult a lady, and I challenge you to fight me."
"Ou! ou! my dear friend, you are mad!"
"Yes, I am mad enough to knock you into the middle of next week, but I am going to give you a chance. You must fight me."
"Fight you, my friend?"
"Yes, fight me."
"You had better be careful. Don't challenge me to fight you. I am a gentleman, I am, and an athlete. You are only a common man; you can't fight me."
The men all laughed at the idea of the dude's being an athlete.
"I know you are an athlete, but you must fight me all the same."
"I beg your pardon, my friend, I cannot fight you here on the public street."
"You need not fight me here."
