He is too noble for THE COUNTESS IDA. 95 this age. I would rather have his friendship than that of any one's I ever saw !" " Well, well, perhaps so ; he did look like the devil when he caught it. I'll do him the justice to say that. " "You may depend upon it, messieurs, he's a very fine fellow, " said Lavalle.
" Well, I don't think so, " exclaimed another. " I think, after all his cant about principle and religion, a man who takes a blow is must be a coward. A blow, you see, gentlemen, is a dev

" Or a tweak by the nose, " said another.
" These are insults which ought to be paid for with blood. " " That is the creed among gentlemen, " said another.
" But, " said Lavalle, " these things depend upon one's character and mode of thinking. Honour is in the mind, and the disgrace of a blow is conditional. If one receives it passively because one is afraid to resent it, then certainly a blow is a disgrace of the last extremity ; but if one receives it, and refuses to seek the ordinary redress from a pure principle, because he believes that an intellectual man and a Christian ought to suffer any outward indignity rather than violate the law of God, I say that man is a character of the no blest order ; and, just in the proportion in which he shocks the prejudices of mankind, and exposes himself to ridicule, misinterpretation, and odium, just in that proportion his abstaining from the vulgar mode of ven geance is grand and brave ; and, since we are created in the image of our Maker, it should be our object to think and act like him.
