- You can tell me what you want, but brother or not, I swear for the salvation of my soul that I kill you like a dog if you do not respect this lady! Let go, or you break your arm!

The movement of the stick and threatening gaze and expression clearly indicated that Roger was going to do as he said. It was at that time the noble descendant of Clinton, become formidable champion of a lady’s honor. His heart was pounding and he would have fought to the death, not one but ten enemies. Hugo knew immediately who had to deal. He dropped the girl’s arm and looked at both sides for a weapon either a stick or a stone, and not finding them, was launched to address the race in the house, while applying a whistle to his lips and prolonged and shrill whistle blew.

– Flee, my God! cried the girl. Put on in safety before they come back!

– Not without you, by my life! Roger said resolutely. Let him call for many dogs like.

– Come, come with me, then! I beg you! she insisted, tugging at his arm. I know this man and I know that will kill without mercy ….

– Well, let us flee! holding hands and ran into the woods.
