He was one of those thick-set broad-shouldered Auvergnians, with a dogged obstinacy for work.
C’était un de ces Auvergnats trapus, carrés des épaules, d’un entêtement de brute au travail.
"If it concerned myself only I should not attempt either to overcome the dogged silence with which for days together he meets my arguments, nor to answer his irrational remarks, his childish reasons.
— S’il ne s’agissait que de moi seule, je ne saurais ni vaincre son silence obtus, opposé pendant des heures entières à des arguments justes, ni répondre à des observations sans logique, de véritables raisons d’enfant.

It is altogether an Indian expression-that of dogged determination to die rather than yield what he has made up his mind to keep.
Il y a dans cette figure quelque chose de plus que chez les Indiens ordinaires, quelque chose qui indique une détermination entêtée de mourir, plutôt que d'abandonner ce qu'il a mis dans sa tête de conserver.

What could he have been seeking, whither had he been going, since the morning, ever on a wild, solitary chase through the Paris of wealth and enjoyment while hunger dogged his steps?
Que cherchait-il donc où courait-il, depuis le matin, dans cette chasse solitaire et sauvage lancé de la sorte au travers du Paris de la richesse et de la joie avec sa faim qui lui battait les talons ?

I'd grown accustomed to the failures of our life as the months had passed, the slowly descending scale of opportunity despite our dogged hopes.
Au fil des mois qui passaient, je m'étais habituée aux faillites de notre existence, à l'amincissement progressif de nos chances, en dépit de nos espoirs obstinés.

I sped into town to look for an all-night pharmacy that sold a rubber tube for our hand pump, running the lights and ignoring traffic signs, the dogs skidding across the back section of the Volkswagen bus as we careened through the dark streets.
J'ai foncé en ville chercher une pharmacie de garde qui vendrait un tube en caoutchouc pour notre pompe manuelle. J'ai brûlé les feux rouges, ignoré les panneaux de signalisation, les chiens bringuebalant à l'arrière de la voiture à chaque virage.

"Plagued, Mr. Moseley!" said Grace, in a voice even softer than his own. «I am sure-I am sure, we none of us think you or your dogs in the least a plague."
– Menacée ! monsieur Moseley ! répondit Grace du ton d’un tendre reproche, pouvez-vous employer cette expression en parlant de vos amis ?

Why, sir, I've been so hungry that I have been glad to take the bones they threw to their dogs; and yet, when I was a little fellow, and laid awake whole nights and cried, it wasn't the hunger, it wasn't the whipping, I cried for.
Oui, monsieur, j’ai eu souvent si grand’faim que j’étais trop heureux de ramasser les os qu’on jetait à la meute; et pourtant, quand, tout petit garçon, je veillais et pleurait la nuit, ce n’était pas de faim, ce n’était pas à cause du fouet.
