I distinctly recall, at that moment, the tall peasant boy, bareheaded - for he had carefully placed his cap on his other clothes - his face so young, so gallant, and already so firmly set.
Je me rappelle, en cet instant, le grand écolier paysan, nu-tête, car il avait soigneusement, posé sa casquette sur ses autres habits – visage si jeune, si vaillant et si durci déjà.
