Then I had a bath, and cut my moustache, which was long and drooping, into a short stubbly fringe.
Ensuite je pris un bain, et taillai ma moustache, que je portais longue et retombante, en une courte frange hérissée.

However, as the train rolled on and the landscape flew by, a church once more appeared, this time on the fringe of heaven, some votive chapel perched upon a hill and surmounted by a lofty statue of the Virgin.
Mais, de nouveau, dans la fuite rapide de la campagne, une église apparut, cette fois au bord du ciel, sur une colline, quelque chapelle votive, que surmontait une haute statue de la Sainte Vierge.

This fringe commenced on what might be termed the main land, and was as dense as usual, extending in long lines both north and south.
Cette frange reparaissait à l’endroit où la pointe se rattachait à la terre ; elle y était aussi épaisse que partout ailleurs, et s’étendait en une longue ligne du nord au sud.

I noticed lots of small details - machine-gun detachments, signalling parties, squads of stretcher-bearers - which mean the fringe of an army, and as soon as the night began the white fingers of searchlights began to grope in the skies.
Je remarquai pas mal de petits détails – sections de mitrailleuses, équipes de brancardiers, escouades d’éclaireurs – qui révèlent l’approche d’une armée, et dès que la nuit fut venue les longs doigts blancs des projecteurs fouillèrent le ciel.

It hangs to the middle of the thighs, ending in a fringe-work of shells, that tinkle as she moves.
Cette tunique descend jusqu'au milieu des cuisses et se termine par une bordure de coquillages qui s'entrechoquent, avec un léger bruit de castagnettes, à chacun de ses mouvements.

He was rubbing his rough fringe of grizzly beard with a thoughtful air, but as an usher came by, he stopped him and asked a question in an undertone.
Il frottait de la main son rude collier de barbe grisonnante, l'air préoccupé. Et, comme un huissier montait, il l'arrêta et lui adressa une question à demi-voix.

I crawled on my belly in the lee of a stone dyke till I reached the fringe of trees which surrounded the house.
Je rampai à plat ventre, dissimulé derrière une digue de pierre, jusqu'au rideau d'arbres qui entourait la maison.

On the immediate point there was a small open area, partly in native grass, and partly beach, but a dense fringe of bushes lined its upper side.
Le bord de la pointe était un espace découvert, de peu d’étendue, et terminé par une frange épaisse de buissons.

He had sought the cover from habit, but was within a few feet of the fringe of bushes, and could be at the margin of the forest in readiness to fire in a moment.
Il avait cherché un couvert par habitude, mais il n’était qu’à quelques toises de la frange des buissons, et en un instant il pouvait être hors de la forêt et prêt à faire feu.

As Mabel ceased speaking, she waved her handkerchief in return to a salutation from Jasper, who kept his eyes fastened on her form until the white sails of the cutter had swept round a point, and were nearly lost behind its green fringe of leaves.
En finissant ces mots, elle agita son mouchoir pour répondre à un signe d’adieu que lui faisait Jasper, qui ne cessa de la regarder que lorsque son cutter eut doublé une pointe derrière laquelle il disparut.

As the sun descended towards the horizon the play of light and shade became more marked on the broad undulations of the ground which stretched away, alternately of a pinky green and a violet grey, till they reached the distant fringe of the sky.
À mesure que le soleil descendait vers l’horizon, des jeux d’ombre et de lumière marquaient davantage les vastes ondulations des terrains, qui se succédaient ainsi, d’un vert-rose et d’un gris violâtre, jusqu’aux bords lointains du ciel.
