watching the Masters at work...

Yes...an interesting day. Not the least of which was watching the two masters at work. The Conte di Loredan and Signor Verne. They are very closely matched, although the one is a good bit taller, with a bit more reach. When I fence with Signor Verne, I always feel as though I am thoroughly outclassed, but it is an honor and a pleasure to cross blades with someone so knowledgeable and such a gentleman.

Yes! Il Signor Conte and myself have been fencing countless duels over the years- always an even game and close close scores, and always the same thrilling enjoyment ( at least for me and I hope for both).

So much so that we could have made a fortune as a Vaudeville duet in cabarets or salles d'armes, as "Myron and Myron" or as "The Frantic Fanatic Fencers, The Myrons", if our dignities of Venezian Conte and French Baron were not a major impeachment...( not forgetting the many other occupations of The Conte, a very busy man, much more than me)

We have already attracted crowds of spectators, mainly gamblers who thought it clever to gamble on " Myron", a sure winning bid when we fence together...
