Quote #10

"I shall go as I am, Captain," said Biscarrat, "for I do not go to kill, I go to be killed."

And placing himself at the head of the first platoon with his head uncovered and his arms crossed, "March, gentlemen!" said he. (48.128)

This proves Biscarrat is a truly honorable man, for he compensates for the lives of his companion by being among the first to die.
