Examples from texts

And when a numerous company of them was gathered together Leo XIII, seated out of sight and watching, would suddenly clap his hands and startle the birds, which flew up and were caught by the wings in the meshes of the nets.
Et, quand une bande était là, nombreuse, Léon XIII, assis à l’écart, guettant, tapait dans ses mains, effarait brusquement les oiseaux, qui s’envolaient et se prenaient par les ailes dans les grandes mailles des filets.

They can tell us all the clap-trap they like, and trim up all the words they can rind and all they can make up, but to say that all this innocent suffering could come from a perfect God, it's damned skull-stuffing."
On pourra nous raconter les boniments qu’on voudra, et ajuster là-dessus tous les mots qu’on trouvera, et qu’on inventera : toute cette souffrance innocente qui sortirait d’un Dieu parfait, c’est un sacré bourrage de crâne.
