The heart of the young Gascon beat as if it would burst through his side--not from fear, God be thanked, he had not the shade of it, but with emulation; he fought like a furious tiger, turning ten times round his adversary, and changing his ground and his guard twenty times.
El corazón del joven gascón batía hasta romperle el pecho, no de miedo, a Dios gracias, del que no conocía siquiera la sombra, sino de emulación; se batía como un tigre furioso, dando vueltas diez veces en torno a su adversario, cambiando veinte veces sus guardias y su terreno.
