- Jack Taaffe was a noted duelist and was never once defeated. On one occasion he was challenged to fight. The morning in question his opponent while waiting began to test his shot by cutting an inch off a rod with every shot. Taaffe's servant was watching and on seeing the true shot of the opponent went into his master to relate what he had seen.
