The Gaming Table by Andrew Steinmetz

 CHAPTER XII. page 7

Accordingly Mr Levingstone consented to wait whilst Chevalier
retired to his closet to pray; but hearing the conclusion of his
prayer to end with these words--`Me verily believe spilling man's
blood is one ver' great sin, wherefore I hope all de saints will
interced vid de Virgin for my once killing Monsieur de Blotieres at
Rochelle,--my killing Chevalier de Cominge at Brest,--killing Major
de Tierceville at Lyons,--killing Lieutenant du Marche Falliere at
Paris, with half a dozen other men in France; so, being also sure of
killing him I'm now going to fight, me hope his forcing me to shed
his blood will not be laid to my charge;'--quoth Levingstone to himself
--`And are you then so sure of me? But I'll engage you shan't--for
if you are such a devil at killing men, you shall go and fight
yourself and be ----.' Whereupon he made what haste he could
away, and shortly Chevalier coming out of the closet and finding
Levingstone not in the room, was very glad of his absence.'
