And to save some one--if we admit that in life there are truly two lives--does not of necessity mean that we save him from death and disaster; but indeed that we render him happier, inasmuch as we try to improve him.
Et puis, entendons-nous, sauver quelqu'un selon la vie qui contient les deux vies, ce n'est pas nécessairement l'arracher à la mort ou aux désastres du dehors; mais c'est certainement le rendre plus heureux en le rendant un peu meilleur.

The girl made no answer for some time, but she ceased paddling altogether, as if the novel idea distracted her mind too much to admit of other employment.
Hetty fut quelque temps sans répondre. Elle cessa tout à fait de ramer, comme si une idée nouvelle pour elle eût embarrassé son esprit, et ne lui eût permis aucune autre occupation.

We deplore the destiny of Socrates, Duncart, Antigone, and many others whose lives were noble; we deplore; their destiny because their end was sudden and cruel; and we are fain to admit that misfortune prevails over wisdom and virtue alike.
Nous plaignons la destinée de Socrate, de Duncan, d'Antigone, de Jeanne d'Arc et de tant d'autres justes, parce que leur fin fut inattendue ou cruelle, et nous nous disons que la sagesse ou la vertu ne désarme pas le malheur.
