"What an ass I was to think I could have missed him," he muttered to himself. "He was exposed en plein the fool! for quite a couple of seconds." General Feraud gazed at the motionless limbs, the last vestiges of surprise fading before an unbounded admiration of his own deadly skill with the pistol. "Turned up his toes!
