He rose to go; then, suddenly yielding to the invincible longing to know which had been gnawing at him since yesterday, he said:"By the way, I fancy I remember that you used to have, in Paris, a little portrait of Marechal, in the drawing-room.»
Il se leva pour partir, puis, cédant soudain à l'invincible envie de savoir qui lui mordait le coeur depuis la veille: Dis donc, j'ai cru me rappeler qu'il y avait autrefois, à Paris, un petit portrait de Maréchal dans notre salon.

"That is a bad thing, certainly," said the other lady, holding up a baby's dress she had just completed, and looking intently on its trimmings; "but then, I fancy, it don't occur often."
– C’est là une mauvaise chose, assurément, dit l’autre, élevant en l’air une petite robe d’enfant qu’elle venait d’achever, et examinant avec attention les garnitures, mais j’imagine que cela n’arrive pas souvent.
