The Adventures of Peregrine Pickle Volume 1 Chapter 28

In which Peregrine, pursued by the fiery Mr. Gauntlet, engages in a duel that unexpectedly blossoms into a gentlemanly friendship, and upon arriving at the garrison, finds his aunt amiably transformed yet his mother as unyielding as ever. Enduring the insolence of his brother Gam, he artfully disciplines the latter's petulant preceptor with a horsewhip, much to the scandal and approval of those around.
