Dans la nuit meme qui avait suivi son arrestation, son anévrisme s’était rompu, et le lendemain matin on l’avait trouvé étendu sur le sol de sa cellule, la figure souriante, les traits calmes, comme si a son heure derniere il avait vu se retracer devant lui toute une existence utile et bien remplie.
On the very night after his capture the aneurism burst, and he was found in the morning stretched upon the floor of the cell, with a placid smile upon his face, as though he had been able in his dying moments to look back upon a useful life, and on work well done.
