Excerpt from Un Revenant: Episode de la Guerre de Sécession aux Etats-Unis
Eu examinant ses traits à la lueur tremblotante du reverbere suivant, on eut pu deviner qu'il venait de prendre une résolution aussi énergique que subite. Il accéléra sa marche; des mots entrecoupés de sanglots s'échappaient de sa poitrine lorsqu'il descendit entre l'église et le marché Bonsecours. Sans se soucier de la boue, il traversa l'espace qui sépare les quais du mur de revêtement, courut à l'extrémité de l'une des jetées, ou il s'arrêta et parut hésiter un rinstant, puis prenant une résolution suprême il fit un signe de croix.
