As I reasoned it out, the Turks must be in a bad way, and, unless they got a fillip from Greenmantle, would crumple up before the Russians.
D’après mes déductions, les Turcs devaient se trouver dans un bien mauvais cas, peut-être même étaient-ils tout prêts à s’écrouler devant la Russie, à moins que Manteau-Vert ne vînt à la rescousse.

He now roused his wife, who kept her eyes closed. When she had risen to her feet, and shaken her skirt, which was all crumpled, and covered with dry leaves, the party quitted the clearing, breaking the small branches they found in their way.
Puis il secoua sa femme, qui tenait les yeux fermés; lorsque Thérèse se fut dressée et qu'elle eut secoué ses jupes, fripées et couvertes de feuilles sèches, les trois promeneurs quittèrent la clairière, en cassant les petites branches devant eux.
Then she handed the Chevalier a much crumpled strip of blue paper.

I scrambled in, after listening for steps on the stairs. I crumpled up the map and stuck it in my pocket, as well as the paper from which I had seen him copying.
Après m’être assuré que je n’entendais pas de bruit dans l’escalier, je me glissai dans la pièce et, saisissant la carte, je la fourrai dans ma poche avec le document.

He raised the letters which were not consumed to the taper in order to relight them, held up those which had been too tightly crumpled to burn in the vase, and stirred all the flaming ashes as though he were mixing a blazing bowl of punch.
Il rallumait à la bougie les lettres qui s'éteignaient; il faisait brûler en l'air les boules de papier trop serrées; il remuait les débris embrasés, comme s'il avait agité l'alcool flambant d'un bol de punch.

He loved those amorous blondes who set out with starched fichus and came back with them a trifle crumpled, and with their ribbons in great disorder.
Il aimait ces blondes amoureuses qui, parties les fichus empesés, revenaient, un peu chiffonnées, les rubans en grand désordre.

Directly she had gone, Auguste, losing all patience, forgetting that Octave and Saturnin were present, withdrew a crumpled paper from his pocket, and thrust it under Berthe's nose, whilst he stammered out:" What's that?
Tout de suite, Auguste à bout de force, oubliant la présence d'Octave et de Saturnin, tira de sa poche un papier froissé, qu'il mit sous le nez de Berthe, en bégayant: – Qu'est-ce que c'est que ça?
There was a short silence, after which came a sound of paper being roughly crumpled, and the Abbé said, with evident displeasure: ' It's always the same old story.

Then he lowered his head over the pasteboard box which he was examining, while Rougon crumpled up a handful of papers, and after lighting them at the taper threw them into a large bronze vase which stood at the edge of his table.

The old cook waxed very indignant, and began to bounce excitedly up and down the kitchen, knocking the pots and pans about noisily, and crumpling up the dusters and flinging them down.
La vieille cuisinière n'était pas patiente; elle se mit à marcher violemment, bousculant les poêlons et les casseroles, roulant et jetant les torchons.

Their limbs clasped with a convulsive passion, their bosoms, hot with tears, were pressed close together beneath their crumpled chemises.
Leurs membres nus s'étreignaient avec une passion convulsive; leurs gorges, chaudes de pleurs, s'écrasaient sous leurs chemises arrachées.
Then suddenly a fit of rage seizes him, his face crumples, his little fists clench in fury, he tightens them like knots in string and waves them about.
Puis, tout d’un coup, il est pris d’une crise de rage ; sa face se chiffonne, furibonde, ses petits poings se serrent, se serrent, comme des nœuds de ficelle. Il les brandit.

Through one of them, which was half open, puffs of fresh air from the Seine were wafted in, occasionally stirring the fringe of the silk curtains, and rustling the crumpled pieces of paper which lay about the floor.
Une de ces fenêtres, entrouverte, laissait passer les petits souffles frais de la Seine, qui soulevaient par moments la frange de soie des rideaux. Des papiers froissés, jetés sur le tapis, s'envolaient avec un léger bruit.
