She paid particular attention to his glass and his knife and fork, she took care that whenever the slightest stain made its appearance upon the cloth it should not be put on his side, and she paid him numberless other delicate little attentions.
Elle soignait particulièrement son verre, son couteau, sa fourchette; elle veillait, dès que la nappe avait la moindre tache, à ce que la tache ne fût pas de son côté. Puis, c'étaient mille attentions délicates.
