Then he out with his hand to get another carbine that lay near, but before he could reach it big Hodgson, who was the pivot man of the Grenadier company, ran out and passed his bayonet through his throat, which was a pity, for he seemed to be a very fine man.
Il allongeait la main pour prendre une autre carabine qui se trouvait tout près, mais avant qu'il eût le temps de la saisir, le gros Hodgson, qui formait le pivot de la compagnie de Grenadiers, accourut et lui planta sa baïonnette dans la gorge. Grand dommage, car cétait un fort bel homme!
