"Finally, as the last straw, it must needs be that on a hunting party
things happened thus. The two men of the name were standing near each
other, and both shot at the same time at the same she-bear. To be sure,
immediately after their shots it did fall lifeless, but before that it had
been carrying a dozen bullets in its belly. Many persons had guns of the
same calibre. Who killed the bear? Try to find out! How can you tell?

"Here they shouted: 'Enough! We must end this matter once for all. Whether
God or the devil united us, we must separate; two of us, like two suns,
seem to be too much for one world.' And so they drew their sabres and took
their positions. Both were worthy men; the more the other gentry tried to
reconcile them, the more furiously they let fly at each other. They
changed their arms; from sabres they passed to pistols; they took their
positions, we cried that they had put the barriers too near together.
They, to spite us, swore to shoot over the skin of the bear, sure death!

are bold fellows; but do you want to shoot with your pistols on each
other's bellies? I will not permit it; I agree to pistols, but you shall
shoot from a distance neither longer nor shorter than across the bear's
hide; with my own hands as second I will stretch the hide of the bear on
the ground, and I myself will station you. You shall stand on one side, at
the end of the snout, and you at the tail.'--'Agreed,' they shouted; 'the
time?'--'To-morrow.'--'The place?'--'The Usza tavern.'--They parted. But I set
to reading Virgil."

Here the Seneschal was interrupted by a cry of "At him!" Right from under
the horses a hare had darted out; first Bobtail and then Falcon started
after it. They had taken the greyhounds to the hunt, knowing that as they
returned through the fields they might very likely happen on a rabbit.
They were walking without leashes alongside the horses; when they caught
sight of the hare, before the hunters could urge them on they started
after it. The Notary and the Assessor wanted to follow on horseback, but
the Seneschal checked them, saying; "Hold! stand and w
