Description
"[...] Only Babet failed to follow these instructions. Since Rand had distracted them by taking far too long to untie Javert’s knots, he had been approaching the table where the other pistols were kept. By the time the door was opened he had reached one of them. When Montparnasse escaped Valjean’s grip he had looked ahead and saw Babet holding a pistol, aiming at him. The room was not that large. If he fired he surely wouldn’t fail.
Valjean closed his eyes. This is it." (Soldan - A Tale of Two Men)
