Chapter X
But the latter, gasping for breath, kept up his furious attack always striking, always repulsed, sometimes with a kick, sometimes with a punch, and rushing forward again furiously. M. Marambot was wounded twice more, once in the leg and once in the stomach. But, suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind, and he began to shriek: “Stop, stop, Denis, I have not yet received my money!” The man immediately ceased, and his master could hear his labored breathing in the darkness.
