Ex. 82, page 88.

The chaplain

of a regiment which stayed as garrison

in a town of England, not far distant from the capital,

dining one day at a feast, criticised with s^Tej;;; sharpness the conduct of a distinguished lady.
A i:alonel,
who was sitting at the same table, and a reUti/jR of the
"
lady, took the word, and said to him,
Mr. C'harlaMu,

what you have just uttered is very extravagant, ,ind if I

were nearer you, I should have punished your ijisolence
with a box on the ear
but take it for received, since
:

only the distance, which separates us, hinders it."

"Mr. Colonel," answered the chaplain, " my profession
hinders me from carrying a sv*'ord
but suppose that I
am seated at your side, that I have taken that of my
neighbour, and that I have pierced with it your heart
think yourself killed by my hand, considering that only
the distance which there is from one to the other
hinders it from being verified."
Upon this answer, the
officer rose enraged, and the chaplain, without flinching,
added, that as he had now killed him, he had no more
the right to speak.
All the companions fell to laughing,
and interrupted the dispute, and while they appeased
the colonel, his adversary managed to escape the consequences by his night.
