Fair Play


CURRAN, who was a very small man, having a dispute with a brother

counsel (who was a very stout man), in which words ran high on both

sides, called him out. The other, however, objected. You are so

little, said he, that I might fire at you a dozen times without

hitting, whereas, the chance is that you may shoot me at the first

fire.--To convince you, cried Curran, I don't wish to take any

advantage, you shall chalk my size upon your body, and all hits out

of the ring shall go for nothing.
