"NINETY THREE" RADOUB; "It only needed one spring more to land him in the chamber of the first floor. But a face appeared in the opening. Radoub saw a frightful spectre rise suddenly before him in the gloom; with an eye torn out, a shattered jaw, and a mask-like face bedabbled with blood. This hideous mask, which had only one eye left, was watching him. It had two hands: these hands thrust themselves out of the darkness of the loophole and clutched at Radoub; one of them seized the two pistols in his belt, the other snatched the sword from between his teeth."
