He saw the Vermonter's blackened lips move, and his own moved in the same way, but neither heard what the other said. Nevertheless Dick read the words in his comrade's eyes, and they said: "Surprised again, Dick! Good God, surprised!" Yet the young troops fought with a courage worthy of the toughest veterans.
The singular confession of a man who regretted his impertinence because he discovered his adversary was a better swordsman, would, under any other code or in any other country, have argued poltroonery.
