The object, from where we were standing, looked more like the stump of a cotton-wood, dressed in dirt-coloured buckskin, than the body of a human being.
D'où nous étions, cela ressemblait plutôt à un tronc de cotonnier recouvert d'une peau de Chevreuil terreuse qu'à un corps humain.

At last, dressed and shod, and having his soft felt hat bespangled with yellow sparks of the gold, he was about to go, when a superstitious thought brought him back to the nosegay, which had remained alone on the centre of the table.

Laurent slowly dressed himself, with a feeling of sullen irritation, exasperated at having been unable to sleep, exasperated at allowing himself to be caught by a fright which he now regarded as childish.
Laurent s'habilla lentement, avec une irritation sourde. Il était exaspéré de n'avoir pas dormi, exaspéré de s'être laissé prendre par une peur qu'il traitait maintenant d'enfantillage.
