A "foil" is a character whose traits contrast with and therefore accentuate the main character's traits. After reading Saki's "The Interlopers," you can see that Ulrich's and Georg's men act as a foil to Ulrich and Georg in that A. the men are not as actively and hatefully part of the feud as their masters are. B. their men are not loyal to anyone, while Ulrich and Georg have always been loyal to each other. C. their men wanted the feud to keep going, while Ulrich and Georg kept trying to settle it.
