Any one who could have beheld at that moment the captain's inflamed countenance, his leap backwards, so violent that he disengaged himself from the grip which held him, the proud air with which he clapped his hand on his swordhilt, and, in the presence of this wrath the gloomy immobility of the man in the cloak,−−any one who could have beheld this would have been frightened.
Qui eût pu voir en ce moment le visage enflammé du capitaine, le bond qu’il fit en arrière, si violent qu’il se dégagea de la tenaille qui l’avait saisi, la fière mine dont il jeta sa main à la garde de son épée, et devant cette colère la morne immobilité de l’homme au manteau, qui eût vu cela eût été effrayé.
