An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge By: Ambrose Bierce

A lieutenant stood at the right of the line, the point of his sword upon the ground, his left hand resting upon his right. Excepting
the group of four at the center of the bridge, not a man moved. The company faced the bridge, staring stonily, motionless. The
sentinels, facing the banks of the stream, might have been statues to adorn the bridge. The captain stood with folded arms,
silent, observing the work of his subordinates, but making no sign.

as used in this sentence from paragraph two?
