And the old trapper chuckled at the conceit, as if he had just been witnessing some scene of amusement, and there was not an enemy within a hundred miles of him.
Et le vieux trappeur se livra à un accès de gaieté, tout comme s'il eût assisté à quelque farce de tréteaux à cent milles de toute espèce de danger.

To get somebody to stumble over him, and curse him steadily for an hour, is his highest aim and object; and, when he has succeeded in accomplishing this, his conceit becomes quite unbearable.
Obtenir que quelqu’un trébuche sur lui et le maudisse une heure d’affilée, est certainement son ambition la plus haute, et ce tour de force accompli, il devient d’une suffisance tout à fait intolérable.

But there is no end to conceit in this world: for a fellow who never saw salt water often fancies he knows more than one who has gone round the Horn.
Mais il n’y a pas de bornes à la vanité dans ce monde ; car un drôle qui n’a jamais vu l’eau salée, s’imagine souvent en savoir plus que celui qui a doublé le cap de Horn.

Deerslayer laughed heartily at his own conceit, and, in a minute or two, they were both standing on the platform, selecting some object in the Ark for their target.
Deerslayer se prit à rire de tout cœur à cette pensée, et au bout d’une minute ou deux ils allèrent sur la plate-forme, et choisirent quelque objet sur la surface extérieure de l’arche pour leur servir de but.

Up above, around the Pope, reigned the pontifical family, the high and noble cardinals and prelates whose conceit was great in spite of their apparent familiarity.

Was it a god, or his blind reliance on Marie Antoinette, that led him to entrust de Fersen--a stupid, conceited, and tactless creature--with the preparations and control of this disastrous journey?
Etait-ce un dieu ou son aveugle complaisance pour Marie-Antoinette qui le poussait à confier au sot, vaniteux et maladroit de Fersen les préparatifs et la direction du désastreux voyage?
