With my brown face, my old tweeds, and my slouch, I was the very model of one of the hill farmers who were crowding into the third-class carriages.
Avec ma figure basanée, ma vieille défroque et ma dégaine pesante, je ressemblais comme deux gouttes d'eau à l'un de ces paysans de la montagne qui s'entassaient dans les voitures de troisième.

They halted for a meal, and we stopped, too, and lunched off some brown bread and dried figs and a flask of very sour wine.
Les soldats firent halte afin de prendre leur repas; nous nous arrêtâmes également et déjeunâmes de pain bis, de figues et d’un flacon de vin fort amer.

He had untidy grizzled hair and a ragged beard, and a pair of pleasant, short-sighted brown eyes.

Miette was enveloped in a long brown hooded cloak reaching to her feet, and leaving only her head and hands visible.

They did not meet each other, but left a piece of the ankle bare, and that also was dirt-brown, like the buck-skin.
Ces deux parties du vêtement ne se rejoignaient pas, mais laissaient à nu une partie des chevilles qui, elles aussi, étaient d'un brun sale, comme la peau de daim.

Behind the brown serge hangings the staff of the establishment was lunching--one could hear a grinding of jaws and husky laughter, a rumpus akin to that of a camp of gipsies devouring the contents of their saucepans.
Et, derrière la draperie de serge brune, c’était maintenant le personnel qui déjeunait, des bruits de mâchoires, des rires empâtés, toute la mastication forte d’un campement de bohémiens, en train de torcher les marmites.

And in this clear brightness, Madeleine was going along in fits and starts by the side of the walls, her brown travelling dress rustling against the furniture, her face deathly pale, and her hair as red as if it were ablaze.
Et Madeleine, dans cette clarté vive, égratignant aux meubles sa robe brune de voyage, la face d’une blancheur mate et les cheveux d’un roux ardent, allait d’un pas saccadé le long des murs de la chambre.

Nous nous trouvâmes bientôt au bord; ce n’était qu’un tourbillon de chutes pâteuses et de rapides boueux.
