I Will Repay: Large Print

By: Orczy, Emma

The story starts in 1784, before the French revolution. Wealthy Paul D roul de has offended the young Vicomte de Marny by speaking disrespectfully of his latest infatuation, Ad le de Monterch ri. D roul de had not intended to get into the quarrel but has a tendency to blunder into things -- "no doubt a part of the inheritance bequeathed to him by his bourgeois ancestry." Incensed at the slur on Ad le, whom he sees as a paragon of virtue, the Vicomte challenges D roul de to a duel, a fight which D roul de does not want - for he knows and respects the boy's father, the Duc de Marny. Swords drawn, the fight ensues in the centre of the salon but despite his noble lineage, the Vicomte de Marny is no match for D roul de's swordplay, especially when addled with wine and rage. D roul de disarms his opponent and having won the duel, draws back but the boy refuses to back down without complete satisfaction and demands that D roul de get down on his knees and apologize.
