Count me in.'
    Grantaire was on his feet.
    The immense glare of the whole combat he had missed and in which he had not been, appeared in the flashing eyes of the transfigured drunkard.
    He repeated, 'Vive la Republique!' crossed the room firmly, and took his place in front of the muskets beside Enjolras.
    'Two at one shot,' he said.
    And, turning toward Enjolras gently, he said to him, 'Will you permit it?'
    Enjolras shook his hand with a smile.
    The smile had not finished before the report was heard.
    Enjolras, pierced by eight bullets, remained backed up against the wall is if the bullets had nailed him there. Except that his head was tilted.
    Grantaire, struck down, collapsed at his feet.”
