She had noted the slight, dry cough, the daily brightening cheek; nor could the lustre of the eye, and the airy buoyancy born of fever, deceive her.

She often seemed to lapse into some ecstatic trance, her hands were shaken by a nervous trembling, and a dry cough occasionally shook her from head to foot without consciousness apparently on her part of how it was rending her.
Sa face se noyait d'extase, ses mains se tendaient avec des tremblements nerveux. Une toux sèche parfois la secouait de la tête aux pieds, sans qu'elle parût en sentir le déchirement.

Tall and thin, gnarled and twisted like a vine-stock, he rested his hands on the tribune as if to support his bent figure, and his speech was often interrupted by the little dry cough which came from the tuberculosis that was burning him.
Grand, maigre, noueux et tordu comme un sarment de vigne, il y soutenait des deux mains sa taille un peu courbée, interrompu souvent par la petite toux de la lente tuberculose dont il brûlait.

He turned his eyes upon the carriage and vaguely espied the suffering beings it contained--Madame Maze motionless, overwhelmed with grief; little Rose gently moaning in her mother's lap; La Grivotte, whom a hoarse cough was choking.
Il regarda dans le wagon, entrevit de vagues êtres de souffrance, Mme Maze immobile, anéantie de chagrin, la petite Rose jetant son doux gémissement sur les genoux de sa mère, la Grivotte étranglée d’une toux rauque.
