Kaylee is correct. Is an object relevant? Is the standing person asking on which side the walking person would like to pass? Is it relevant that the street is quite narrow?

is the question giving the wealthy aristocrat a choice between left and right? would the aristocrat answer the question? does his fate depend on the answer to the q? Someone else's fate? is it the left or right side of the road/bridge? is it the highwayman's left or right hand?

GalFisk: Is he giving them a choice as to which side of the bridge they'll be thrown off of? YES! ********SPOILER*********** When I visited Lisboa in October, the guide showed us a bridge, which once used to be the favourite place for a walk of aristocracy. She also told us a story about the 19th century highwayman who stood on the bridge, robbed passing wealthy aristocrates and - being a gentleman - politely asked them which side of the bridge they'll be thrown off of.
