The words of holy trust, breathed by the friendly old man, stole like sacred music over the harassed and chafed spirit of George; and after he ceased, he sat with a gentle and subdued expression on his fine features.

From the outset of the Bonapartist propaganda Rougon had availed himself of the services of this scraggy youth, who, chafing and fuming, made such short work of his monthly hundred francs, and they dabbled together in the most risky undertakings.
Dès les premiers temps de la propagande bonapartiste, Rougon utilisa ce garçon maigre qui mangeait rageusement ses cent francs par mois, avec des sourires inquiétants; et ils trempèrent ensemble dans les besognes les plus délicates.

If so, her voice was drowned by the tread of my chafing horse, that, wheeling suddenly, bore me off into the sombre shadows of the forest.
S'il en est ainsi, sa voix fut couverte par le bruit des piaffements de mon cheval qui, tournant brusquement sur lui-même, m'emporta sous l'ombre épaisse de la forêt.
