Examples from texts

I was then living with my husband, Theodore Labitte, a mason; and it's not to brag that I say it, but however much I wore out my eyes with needlework he used to beat me till he left me half-dead on the floor.
Moi, j’étais alors avec mon mari Théodore Labitte, un maçon ; et ce n’est pas pour me vanter, mais j’avais beau me tuer les yeux à la couture, il me battait à me laisser morte sur le carreau.

If I were an Indian at the stake, I suppose I could brag as well as the rest of them; but, my gifts and natur' being both white, my turn is rather for doing than talking.
Du reste, si j’étais un Indien attaché au poteau, je pourrais me vanter tout aussi bien qu’eux ; mais je suis blanc, tant par ma nature que par les dons que j’ai reçus du ciel, et j’aime mieux agir que de parler.

He lets the youngsters brag away for a while, and then, during a momentary lull, he removes the pipe from his mouth, and remarks, as he knocks the ashes out against the bars:
Il laisse un moment les jeunes se vanter, puis, au cours d’une accalmie passagère, il ôte sa pipe de sa bouche, et, tout en vidant les cendres contre la grille du foyer, déclare :
