I slipped the the bolt at at once once , , and and we we stood stood and and panted panted for for a a moment moment in in the the dark dark , , alone alone in in the house house with with the the dead dead captain captain 's body body . . Then my mother got a candle in the bar , and holding each other 's hands , we advanced into the parlour . He lay lay as as we we had had left him him , , on on his his back back , , with with his his eyes eyes open open and and one one arm arm stretched stretched out out . .
