At that time there dwelt at the end of the Impasse Saint-Mittre, in a hovel the back of which abutted on the Fouques' land, a man of bad repute, who was generally referred to as "that scoundrel Macquart."
Alors demeurait au fond de l’impasse Saint-Mittre, dans une masure dont les derrières donnaient sur le terrain des Fouque, un homme mal famé, que l’on désignait d’habitude sous cette locution: «ce gueux de Macquart.»

Placed above the changing flux of things, above the chaos of unstable and contradictory opinions, they dwelt in that serene region of the absolute where all uncertainty vanishes and where shines the dazzling light of pure truth.
Dominant le flux changeant des choses, le chaos des opinions mobiles et contradictoires, ils habitaient cette région sereine de l'absolu où toutes les incertitudes s'évanouissent et où rayonne l'éblouissante lumière de la vérité pure.

The change was so great that his mind resumed its elasticity, and no longer thinking of submission, it dwelt only on the devices of the sort of warfare in which he was engaged.

Thomas dwelt upon the quarter of a century which the old workman had spent at the factory, and suggested that it would be only just to take some account of his long efforts, the years of his life which he had devoted to the establishment.
