  • On
  • a
  • cold
  • English
  • morning,
  • upon
  • the
  • flat
  • open
  • ground
  • near
  • the
  • river,
  • a
  • duel
  • with
  • pistols
  • between
  • the
  • politician
  • Max
  • Bradbury
  • and
  • Sheldon
  • Hobbes'
  • best
  • friend
  • and
  • confident
  • Mr.
  • Bell
  • was
  • arranged.
  • Bradbury
  • had
  • recently
  • killed
  • Bell's
  • dear
  • friend
  • in
  • the
  • same
  • manner.
  • Hobbes'
  • investigation
  • couldn't
  • prove
  • it,
  • but
  • he
  • believed
  • Bell's
  • friend,
  • a
  • young
  • officer
  • who
  • was
  • in
  • love
  • with
  • Bradbury's
  • wife,
  • was
  • framed
  • and
  • maneuvered
  • into
  • the
  • duel
  • days
  • earlier.
  • Hobbes
  • foolishly
  • agreed
  • to
  • be
  • Bell's
  • Second
  • when
  • loyalty
  • to
  • his
  • friend
  • outweighed
  • his
  • reason.
  • With
  • Bell's
  • sudden
  • incapacity
  • just
  • before
  • his
  • duel,
  • Hobbes
  • took
  • his
  • place.
  • Now
  • he
  • was
  • in
  • the
  • line
  • of
  • fire.
  • Bradbury
  • grinned
  • with
  • anticipation
  • knowing
  • that
  • with
  • one
  • shot,
  • he
  • would
  • end
  • Sheldon's
  • investigation
  • and
  • finally
  • get
  • away
  • with murder.
