Quasimodo who did not hear, saw the naked swords, the torches, the irons of the pikes, all that cavalry, at the head of which he recognized Captain Phoebus; he beheld the confusion of the outcasts, the terror of some, the disturbance among the bravest of them, and from this unexpected succor he recovered so much strength, that he hurled from the church the first assailants who were already climbing into the gallery.
Quasimodo, qui n’entendait pas, vit les épées nues, les flambeaux, les fers de piques, toute cette cavalerie, en tête de laquelle il reconnut le capitaine Phœbus, il vit la confusion des truands, l’épouvante chez les uns, le trouble chez les meilleurs, et il reprit de ce secours inespéré tant de force qu’il rejeta hors de l’église les premiers assaillants qui enjambaient déjà la galerie.
