| 32 | 227 | "Lucky parry," said one of the pirates. |
| 32 | 228 | "There is no Callimachus to rescue you now, Dolt," said Kliomenes, measuring me, the point of his blade moving subtly, a yard or so from my chest. |
| 32 | 229 | Then, again, the blade struck, swift as an ost, toward me. |
| 32 | 230 | "The dock worker is fortunate," said one of the pirates. |

| 32 | 233 | One such parry might be fortunate, but that two such parries should follow one another, apparently so clumsy, and yet, both, similarly effective, would surely appear to defy the probabilities involved in such matters. |
