French officer lying at my feet. His sword

closed, the death damp lay cold and
heavy on his forehead, and little specks
Of foam and blood were on his lips. One
bullet had passed completely through his
body, tearing his lungs in its passage,
and he was gashed and perforated in half
a dozen other places.
