Her fair hair, loosely held together by her comb, decked her head as with a setting planet whose last bright sparks shone upon the nape of her neck.
Ses cheveux blonds, que son peigne attachait mal, la coiffaient d'un astre à son coucher, lui couvrant la nuque du désordre de ses dernières mèches flambantes.

in poultry, the head, - except the comb and the ears, the wattles and caruncles - the oesophagus, the crop, the intestines and the genital organs.
chez les volailles, la tête - à l'exception de la crête et des oreillons, des barbillons et de la caroncule - l'oesophage, le jabot, les intestins, les organes de l'appareil génital.
Her hair was simply twisted round her head, and held in place by a tortoise-shell comb.
Ses cheveux simplement tordus sur sa tête étaient retenus par un peigne d’écaille.

A rush of blood seemed to set his comb aflame; flapping his wings, and stretching out his neck, he burst into a long crow which rang out like a blast from a brazen throat.
Il sembla qu'un flot de sang allumait sa crête. Les ailes battantes, le cou tendu, il lança un cri prolongé, qui sonna comme soufflé par un tube d'airain.

They went down a little ravine, sloping from the village to the cliff, and the cliff, at the end of this comb, rose about eighty metres above the sea.
Ils suivirent un petit vallon en pente, descendant du village vers la falaise; et la falaise, au bout de ce vallon, dominait la mer de quatre-vingts mètres.

She was a mattress-maker, and with one of her aunts had long gone from yard to yard at Bercy to comb and sew up mattresses. And, indeed, it was to the pestilential wool which she had combed in her youth that she ascribed her malady.
Elle était matelassière, elle avait longtemps, avec une de ses tantes, fait des matelas, de cour en cour, à Bercy ; et c’était aux laines empestées, cardées par elle, dans sa jeunesse, qu’elle attribuait son mal.

You find the shawl, and hand it out, and by this time another one has come back and thinks she will have hers too, and they take Mary's on chance, and Mary does not want it, so they bring it back and have a pocket-comb instead.
Vous trouvez le châle et le lui tendez. Sa compagne arrive alors et désire elle aussi le sien. Elles prennent à tout hasard celui de Marie, mais Marie n’en veut pas, et elles le rapportent pour demander en échange un peigne de poche.
