They had just saluted the leg of mutton with a hurrah, and the host had begun to carve it, when the door opened anew.
On venait de saluer le gigot d’un hourra, et le maître de la maison s’était mis à le découper, lorsque de nouveau la porte s’ouvrit.

Overtime, the common law has moved cautiously to carve out a limited sphere for state intrusions on individual liberties in the context of policing.
Avec le temps, la common law a su ménager prudemment une sphère restreinte d'immixtions étatiques dans les libertés individuelles aux fins de maintien de l'ordre.

Doubtless the diggers worked chance-wise and clumsily; the craftsmen no longer knew how to engrave a name or carve a palm or a dove.
Sans doute, tout art avait disparu, les fossoyeurs creusaient au hasard, avec des irrégularités d’ouvriers maladroits, les artistes ne savaient plus graver un nom, ni sculpter une palme ou une colombe.

These were tactics of his own, a determination to carve his own victory apart from the others; the smart idea that if he wished to triumph he ought to have nothing more in common with those revolutionists, neither dealer, nor connections, nor habits.
C’était une tactique, une volonté de se tailler son triomphe à part, cette idée maligne que, pour réussir, il ne fallait plus avoir rien de commun avec ces révolutionnaires, ni un marchand, ni les relations, ni les habitudes.

Come with me. I will take the men, I will take all the women who are willing, and you will carve for yourselves other provinces and found other cities for the future glory and power of the great new France."
Venez avec moi, j’emmène les hommes, j’emmène les femmes de bonne volonté et vous vous taillerez d’autres provinces, et vous fonderez d’autres villes pour la toute-puissance future de la grande France démesurée ! »

There is no basis to carve out an exception for lawsuits based on the private aspects of actions done in direct execution of public duties.
Rien ne justifie d'établir une exception à l'égard des poursuites fondées sur les aspects privés d'un acte accompli directement dans l'exercice de fonctions d'ordre public.
And you souse all that with deftness, that execrable deftness of the fingers which would just as well carve cocoanuts, the flowing, pleasant deftness that begets success, and which ought to be punished with penal servitude, do you hear?'
Et l’on noie ça de facilité, oh! de cette facilité exécrable des doigts, qui sculpteraient aussi bien des noix de coco, de cette facilité coulante, plaisante, qui fait le succès et qui devrait être punie du bagne, entendez-vous! »

Hassan and I would take the wooden stick to the bread maker. He’d carve notches on our stick with his knife, one notch for each loaf of _naan_ he’d pull for us from the tandoor’s roaring flames.
Hassan et moi la présentions au boulanger, qui pratiquait des entailles dessus avec son couteau - une par naan sorti pour nous du tandoor brûlant.

As for Monferrand, that's another matter; he's a man to carve himself his share, only I should be much surprised if he had put himself in a bad position.
Quant à Monferrand, c’est une autre affaire, il est homme à se faire sa part ; seulement, je serais très surpris s’il s’était mis dans un mauvais cas.

His accoutrements are, a bullet-pouch made from the undressed skin of the mountain cat, and a huge crescent-shaped horn, upon which he has carved many a strange souvenir.
L'équipement se compose d'un sac à balles, en peau non apprêtée de chat des montagnes, et d'une grande corne en forme de croissant sur laquelle sont ciselés d'intéressants souvenirs.

All these vast rooms, twenty and four-and-twenty feet high, have admirable carved or painted ceilings, bare walls, a few of them decorated with frescoes, and incongruous furniture, superb pier tables mingling with modern bric-a-brac.
Toutes ces vastes pièces, de sept à huit mètres de hauteur, ont des plafonds peints ou sculptés admirables, des murs nus, quelques-uns décorés de fresques, des mobiliers disparates, de superbes consoles mêlées à tout un bric-à-brac moderne.

Short, with a pitiful countenance suggesting the knob of a stick carved into a Punch's head, Aristide ferretted and fumbled everywhere, without any scruples, eager only to gratify himself.
Petit, la mine chafouine, pareille à une pomme de canne curieusement taillée en tête de Polichinelle, Aristide furetait, fouillait partout, peu scrupuleux, pressé de jouir.

In the downfall of their fortune, the disposal of the home and family, he had carved a share for himself by securing possession of the house in the Avenue d'Antin.
Et, dans la débâcle de leur fortune, dans la dispersion du ménage et de la famille, il s’était taillé sa part, il avait voulu l’hôtel de l’avenue d’Antin.
