• Quoique le jeune homme fût brave, on le sait, il fut épouvanté de cette figure bouleversée, de ces pupilles dilatées horriblement, de ces joues pâles et de ces lèvres sanglantes; il recula jusqu’à la ruelle, comme il eût fait à l’approche d’un serpent qui eût rampé vers lui, et son épée se rencontrant sous sa main souillée de sueur, il la tira du fourreau.Although the young man was brave, it is known, he was terrified of this upset figure, of these dilated pupils horribly, of these pale cheeks and of these bloody lips; he retreated to the alley, as he would have done as he approached a serpent that would have crawled towards him, and his sword met under his hand defiled with sweat, and drew it out of the sheath.B2Les Trois Mousquetaires
