When their guest had gone, silence fell again till father Roland clapped his two hands on his younger son's shoulders, crying:"Well, you devilish lucky dog! You don't embrace me!"

Après ce départ il y eut encore un silence, puis le père Roland vint taper de ses deux mains ouvertes sur les deux épaules de son jeune fils en criant: Eh bien! sacré veinard, tu ne m'embrasses pas?

There you have a man who for eighteen years has never had a guest at his table, who day by day sits all alone in his grandeur!

Un homme qui, depuis dix-huit ans, n’a pas eu un convive, éternellement à l’écart dans sa grandeur !...

Old Roland was listening, and at the same time trying to get in, between the sentences, his account of another dinner, given by a friend of his at Mendon, after which every guest was ill for a fortnight.

Le père Roland l'écoutait, tout en cherchant à glisser entre les phrases le récit d'un autre repas donné par un de ses amis, à Meudon, et dont chaque convive avait été quinze jours malade.

In this way, at any rate, I imagined that, by questioning this providential guest, I could locate a trace of you, hold onto it, narrow down its whereabouts to a continent, a country, a city...

C'est ainsi en tout cas que j'imaginais pouvoir capter ton ombre, la retenir, la cerner sur un continent, dans un pays, dans une ville, en questionnant cet invité providentiel…

Cold and supercilious in his first glance, he became at once, if not affectionate, at least politely attentive, showing me every consideration and seeming pleased to receive me as a guest.

De froid et sourcilleux il devint, sinon affectueux, du moins poliment empressé, me donna des marques de considération et parut heureux de me recevoir.

"You are now our guest and must submit to convent rule," said the countess, leading me by the hand with that air of innocent gaiety which distinguishes women who are naturally pious.

— Vous êtes notre hôte, soumettez-vous à la règle du couvent! dit-elle en m’entraînant par la main avec cet air d’innocente raillerie qui distingue les femmes vraiment pieuses.

The family and their guest sat close together round the table. After the dessert, they chatted about a thousand trifles of the day, about incidents that had occurred the day before, about their hopes for the morrow.

On se serrait autour de la table; après le dessert, on causait des mille riens de la journée, des souvenirs de la veille et des espoirs du lendemain.

However, a second guest entered the room, a tall and handsome man of five or six and thirty; and the Baron, still disturbed by his passion, profited by this opportunity to make his escape.
