And yet such consolation for the civil population was not a negligible weapon, for it was of the utmost importance to dispel the fears and sorrows of non-combatants by recounting our first achievements.
Ce réconfort de la population civile n'était pas. cependant, une arme négligeable. Il importait grandement de dissiper les craintes, les douleurs des non-combattants par le récit de nos premiers exploits.

The silly chuckling of the guests beside them, who wished to hear them talk familiarly, so as to dispel all restraint, made them stammer and colour. They could never make up their minds to treat one another as sweethearts in the presence of company.
Les invités, qui ricanaient bêtement autour d'eux, ayant voulu les entendre se tutoyer, pour dissiper toute gêne, ils balbutièrent, ils rougirent, ils ne purent jamais se résoudre à se traiter en amants, devant le monde.

Then she gave him her hand of her own accord, with a little stifled laugh; and he was obliged to raise it to his lips, so as to dispel her suspicions, if she had any.

But he did not dare to shake the rope; Miette was still leaning over – he could see her smiling face, and it was too painful to him to dispel that smile.
Mais Silvère n’osait remuer la corde: Miette était restée penchée, il voyait toujours son visage souriant, et il lui en coûtait trop d’effacer ce sourire.
