Some slight intellectual satisfaction there may be in the doing of evil; but none the less does each wrongful deed clip the wings of our thoughts, till at length they can only crawl amidst all that is fleeting and personal.
On peut éprouver, il est vrai, une certaine satisfaction intellectuelle à faire le mal. Mais le mal que l'on fait restreint nécessairement la pensée et la borne à des choses personnelles et éphémères.

Apart from these fleeting insults and jests, they say nothing, the primary and universal interest being but to swallow, with their mouths and the circumference thereof as greasy as a rifle-breech.
À part ces quelques injures ou quolibets courants, ils ne disent rien, d’abord occupés tout entiers à avaler, la bouche et le tour de la bouche graisseux comme des culasses.

Both father and mother laughed together with content at the sight of that infantile smile, vague and fleeting, like a faint ripple on the pure water of some spring.

But, alas! this was only the fleeting vision of a vague hope; for all vanished, and again came the doubt, the suspicion, of a mind dealing with one that it knew nothing of.
Et ce ne fut, malheureusement, que la brève vision d’un espoir indistinct de rachat et de victoire, car déjà tout sombrait, retombait au doute, au soupçon des intelligences qui s’ignorent.

The manner in which he referred to "the fleeting glance" and "difficult conditions" situations offers some footing for the conclusion that he turned the examples into a test.
La façon dont il parle de la "vision momentanée" et des "conditions difficiles" peut jusqu'à un certain point permettre de conclure qu'il a pris ces exemples pour des critères.
