Examples from texts

And as he hesitated, unwilling to make the confessions which she tried to extort from him, she looked at him with an expression of such affectionate candour, that at last he threw off all reserve and told her the whole story from beginning to end.
Et quand il hésitait, quand elle l'acculait à quelque aveu qu'il ne voulait pas faire, elle le regardait avec une candeur si affectueuse, qu'il s'abandonnait, lui racontant les histoires jusqu'au bout.

It seemed as if the faithful were determined to weary the ears of the Divinity, determined to extort favours and forgiveness by the very multitude, the vast multitude of their prayers.
La volonté des fidèles était d’en fatiguer les oreilles de Dieu, de lui arracher des grâces, des pardons, par la masse même, la masse énorme des prières.

The Bounding Boy skipped about in front of the captive, menacing him with his tomahawk, now on one side and now on another, and then again in front, in the vain hope of being able to extort some sign of fear by this parade of danger.
Le Garçon-Bondissant se plaça en face du prisonnier, et se mit à sauter en le menaçant tantôt d’un côté, tantôt de l’autre, tantôt en front, espérant lui arracher quelque signe de crainte.

It is true, he cast one admiring glance at Judith, which was extorted by her brilliant and singular beauty; but even this could detain him but a single instant from the indulgence of his interest in Hutter's contrivances.
Il est vrai que la beauté singulière et brillante de Judith lui extorqua un coup d’œil d’admiration ; mais cela ne l’empêcha qu’un instant de se livrer à l’intérêt que lui inspirait la demeure étrange de Hutter.

Notwithstanding the change in his feelings, the manners of a life could not be altogether cast aside in a moment, and the unexpected scene extorted a characteristic speech from the borderer.
Malgré le changement subit survenu dans ses idées, le ton et les manières de toute sa vie ne pouvaient changer si rapidement, et les paroles qu’il adressa à Hutter portaient l’empreinte qui le caractérisait.
