The crowd followed us with mingled exclamations of triumph, hatred, and curiosity.

La foule nous suivait en poussant des exclamations de triomphe, de haine et de curiosité.

The muttering lasted for a few seconds, and then the Baron rushed off, and clove his way through the crowd with two bearers carrying a covered litter.

The crowd in the burning sunlight was increasing; the Place du Rosaire was now overflowing with an idle sauntering mob resembling some concourse of sight-seers on a day of public rejoicing.

La foule grandissait au brûlant soleil, la place du Rosaire débordait d’une cohue vague et badaude, comme en un jour de réjouissance publique.

Then, as the crowd parted, Rougon caught sight of Gilquin, dead-drunk, and held by a couple of policemen.

The engine was still snorting, and the fire was dying down amidst dense black smoke. Nothing was to be heard but the tramping of the diminishing crowd and the last blows of a fireman's axe striking down a beam.

La pompe ronflait toujours, l'incendie pâlissait, au milieu d'une fumée noire; on n'entendait plus que le piétinement affaibli de la foule et la hache attardée d'un pompier abattant une charpente.

In lieu thereof they perceived Irma Becot on the arm of Gagniere, both of them pressed against a hand-rail, he busy examining a small canvas, while she, delighted at being hustled about, raised her pink little mug and laughed at the crowd.

Et ce qu’ils virent, ce fut Irma Bécot au bras de Gagnière, écrasés tous les deux contre une cimaise, lui en train d’examiner une petite toile, tandis qu’elle, ravie de la bousculade, levait son museau rose et riait à la cohue.

All Paris seemed to have come down thither to enjoy that delightful evening. There was endless elbowing, endless mingling of breath as the swelling crowd sauntered along.

Tout Paris semblait être descendu là, pour jouir de la délicieuse soirée, flânant en une cohue si épaissie, que les corps se frôlaient sans fin, dans la tiédeur des haleines.

We reached the vessel - they called her the Henry the Navigator - just as the first shore-boat was leaving. The crowd in it were all Portuguese, which suited my book.

Nous abordâmes le navire, qui s’appelait Henri le Navigateur, au moment où le premier canot quittait le bord, emportant une foule de Portugais, ce qui me convenait à merveille.

Away from the crowd, Gueulin and Trublot were relating to Octave how Clarisse had almost been caught by Duveyrier the night before, and had now resigned herself to smothering him with caresses, so as to shut his eyes.

Justement, à l'écart, Gueulin et Trublot racontaient devant Octave que, la veille, Clarisse avait failli être surprise par Duveyrier et s'était résignée à le bourrer de ses complaisances, pour lui fermer les yeux.

At the close of bis busy days, amidst the crowd of visitors who besieged his drawing-room, he felt alone and lost and heartbroken, because his old familiar friends were not there.

Après ses journées si remplies, au milieu de la foule qui assiégeait son salon, il se retrouvait seul, perdu, navré. Ses familiers lui manquaient.
