Joseph boulogne de saint-george duelist by charles-édouart de beaumont. One day, a fencing master sought trouble in saint-georges; he became insolent, and ended up asking her where her room was. — my room? replied saint-georges, it is under the marion arch! i will wait for you there tomorrow; i will be there at six o'clock. The master-at-arms remained unshod; however, he quickly judged that he would be lost if he refused the invitation. At six o'clock in the morning, saint-georges, who was leaving the ball, was under the marion arch with one of his friends, who was laughing in this room in the open wind. The knight only had one foil; this duel was an assault. Date: 1840.
