Ah what folly, you have had some words with Alexis. What then? A harsh word cannot be hung up by the neck. He gives you impertinence, give him the same, if he give you a slap, return the blow, he a second, you a third, in the end we will compel you to make peace. Whilst if you fight-well, if you should kill him, God be with him for I do not like him much, but if he should perforate you, what a nice piece of business Then who will pay for the broken pots?
