It was about—a question of what I might do or
might not do. The ripple of the water against the boat, as its keel cleaves
through the stream—the darkling current hurrying by—the indistinctly-seen
craft, of all forms and all sizes, hovering around, and making their way in ghostlike silence, or warning each other of their approach by cries, that, heard from
afar, have something doleful in their note—the solemn shadows cast by the
bridges—the deeper gloom of the echoing arches—the lights glimmering from
the banks—the red reflection thrown upon the waves by a fire kindled on some
stationary barge—the tall and fantastic shapes of the houses, as discerned
through the obscurity;—these, and other sights and sounds of the same character,

said, was not less remarkable for the extreme delicacy of her features, and the
faultless symmetry of her figure, than for her wonderful strength and agility,
conducted herself in the present encounter; with what dexterity she parried every
blow aimed against her by her adversary, whose head and face, already marked
by various ruddy streams, showed how successfully her own hits had been made;
—how she drew him hither and thither, now leading him on, now driving him
suddenly back; harassing and exhausting him in every possible way, and making
it apparent that she could at any moment put an end to the fight, and only
delayed the finishing stroke to make his punishment the more severe. This I know for at the Valade estate it was
