He thoughtfully mopped his reeking features.
So it was all over at last! The supreme trial had been passed.

The red, formidable difficulties of war had been vanquished.
He went into an ecstasy of self-satisfaction.

He had the most delightful sensations of his life.

Standing as if apart from himself, he viewed that last scene.

He perceived that the man who had fought thus was magnificent.
He felt that he was a fine fellow.
