A Paris dinner circle of Waterloo survivors recalls General Excelmans who reportedly claimed men are cowards in the dark. He narrates a duel story where the elder fighter dodged a shot from the dark, then reveals he was the first to act. The tale is said to be true, naming Excelmans as the elder participant.

A Scottish or English account recalls Lord Hale’s dread of bribery. It recounts a judge paid in venison to delay a trial, the dean and chapter of Salisbury gifting sugar loaves to judges, and a western circuit settlement. The piece ends with a grim Massachusetts note on a four and half year old girl harming a baby.
