Monk Adderley:
I swear I have never refused a duel but once, muh dear. That was when my father called me out.

Caroline Enys:
Your father challenged you?

Monk Adderley:
I'd taken a fancy to a lady who turned out to be his mistress. He called for pistols.

Dr. Dwight Enys:
[Entering] I was wondering what had become of you.

Caroline Enys:
I was in the library with Captain Adderley. Captain Adderley has been telling me about duelling exploits.

Dr. Dwight Enys:
I've always thought dueling a very extravagant reaction to a quarrel.

Monk Adderley:
There's no other way between gentlemen, muh dear.

Caroline Enys:
At least you declined to fight your father.

Monk Adderley:
Certainly. By no stretch of the imagination could my father be accounted a gentleman.
