eight in the morning
I deliver it to you the more readily because I know you , sir , to be brave , skilful in all bodily exercises , and a first-rate swordsman and shot . I am not an officer in the Prussian army ; you are in no sense my chief . I am a Frenchman , you are a Prussian ; we have Jena behind us and you have Leipzig ; we are therefore enemies . All this makes me hope that you will place no difficulty in my way , and will consent to send me two seconds to-morrow , who will find mine at my house between seven and eight in the morning , and will do me the pleasure of announcing to them the hour , place , and weapons that you have chosen . Everything will be acceptable to me ; make what conditions you like in the best way you can . I hope that you are satisfied .
