"Very little;" and she wiped off with her handkerchief the tears which the coughing had brought to her eyes; "I am used to it now."

– Très peu; et elle essuya avec son mouchoir les larmes que la toux avait fait venir à ses yeux; je suis habituée à cela maintenant.

"I am fearfully warm," said the mayor, and stooping down, he again soaked his handkerchief in the water and placed it round his forehead.

J'ai rudement chaud, dit le maire. Et, se baissant vers la Brindille, il y trempa de nouveau son mouchoir qu'il replaça encore sur son front.

In the first a fisherman's wife was seen, waving a handkerchief on shore, while the vessel which bore away her husband vanished on the horizon.

On voyait sur la première la femme d'un pêcheur agitant un mouchoir sur une côte, tandis que disparaît à l'horizon la voile, qui emporte son homme.

When he no longer noticed it, he drew a deep breath and again dabbed his face with his handkerchief to assuage the burning heat which Clorinde had brought there.

Quand il ne la sentit plus là, il respira bruyamment, il s'essuya la face avec le mouchoir, pour en enlever la chaleur que cette grande fille y avait mise.

But the handkerchief must have slipped out, for she suddenly raised a shriek, a loud and terrible shriek. And at that moment the others near the breach gave the alarm whistle: some people were, doubtless, drawing near.

Mais le mouchoir dut glisser, elle cria, un grand cri terrible ; et, à ce moment, les deux autres, là-bas, au trou, jetèrent le sifflement d’alarme, sans doute des passants qui s’approchaient.

I should like you to see him, with his clogs, his peasant's jersey and his coloured handkerchief wound over his head as if he were an old market-woman.

Non! il faut l’avoir rencontré avec ses sabots, son tricot de paysan, sa marmotte de vieille femme…

She, indeed, was still shedding a few tears, wiping her eyes with her handkerchief, which she then pressed to her lips to smother her deep sobs.

Elle pleurait toujours un peu, essuyant ses yeux avec son mouchoir qu'elle appuyait ensuite sur sa bouche pour comprimer de gros soupirs.

Her face, encircled with a handkerchief fastened under her bore an expression of abject stupidity, for drink had transformed it into a sottish mask, with colourless sagging Ups, and bleary blinking eyes.

Son visage, entouré d’un mouchoir attaché sous le menton, avait une expression d’ignoble hébétement; la boisson en avait fait un masque crapuleux, aux lèvres décolorées et pendantes, aux yeux clignotants et rougis.

Denbigh watched her motions, as she put the picture carefully in a private drawer of the secretary, reopened the blind, replaced the screen, and laid the handkerchief, the last thing on his face, with a movement almost imperceptible to himself.

Denbigh épiait tous ses mouvements ; elle renferma son dessin dans un tiroir particulier du secrétaire, rouvrit le store, et vint replacer le mouchoir comme il était auparavant.

But a fit of coughing interrupted him, and he stood there for a minute, choking, spitting in his handkerchief, and enraged at being unable to give vent to his anger.

Mais une crise de toux lui coupa la parole, et il resta là une minute, étranglant, crachant dans son mouchoir, enragé de ne pouvoir lâcher sa colère.

Marie had her face covered with her handkerchief at this appeal, and began sobbing and using her smelting-bottle, with great vehemence.

À cet appel Marie se couvrit le visage de son mouchoir, et eut recours à son flacon de sels.
