Oh, if he could but have taken her in his arms at that moment, how he would have kissed and caressed her, and gone on his knees to crave pardon.
Oh! s'il avait pu la prendre en ses bras à ce moment, comme il l'eût embrassée, caressée, comme il se fût agenouillé pour demander grâce!

Good looks I may not have; that is to say, to a degree that the light-minded and vain crave; but I hope I'm not altogether without some ricommend in the way of good conduct.
Il est possible que je n’aie pas ce qu’on appelle de beaux traits, c’est-à-dire suivant que l’entendent les esprits vains et légers ; mais je me flatte que je ne suis pas tout à fait sans quelque recommandation du côté de la bonne conduite.

"It was well meant, Judith," he said, "but it was not intended to hurt your feelin's so much. I have overdone the advice, I see; yes, I've overdone it, and I crave your pardon for the same.
– J’avais de bonnes intentions, Judith, lui dit-il, mais je n’avais pas dessein d’émouvoir à un tel point votre sensibilité ; mes avis ont été trop loin, oui, je le vois, et je vous en demande pardon.

And whatever the form it shall take on the day that it comes to us, the best way of all to prepare for its fitting reception is to crave for it now, to desire it as lofty, as perfect, as vast, as ennobling as the soul can conceive.
Et la meilleure manière de l'accueillir un jour, sous quelque forme qu'elle se doive révéler, c'est de l'espérer dès aujourd'hui, aussi haute, aussi vaste, aussi parfaite, aussi ennoblissante, qu'il nous est donné de nous l'imaginer.

"And do you so much crave to outdo me, an old and tried friend? - and that, as it might be, in my own way?
– Désirez-vous donc tellement l’emporter sur moi, – moi, votre ancien ami, votre ami éprouvé, – et dans ce que je puis appeler mon métier ?

"True! It was a dernier ressort, and only adopted because all other efforts had failed; after years of yearning, deep craving of the heart.
– Sans aucun doute! mais c'était ma dernière ressource, et je n'y avais recours qu'après avoir épuisé tous les efforts; après tant d'années d'attente, je ne pouvais plus y tenir.
