He rose, held out his glass over the table and repeated: "France, the French, their fields, their woods and their houses belong to us!"

The Bithynian's heart, on the other hand, had never beaten so violently as during the brief moments when he was permitted to hold Selene's arm. He felt intoxicated, while he was alive to the fact that during the descent of the few steps she was suffering great pain.
