One of the patients can no longer hold back his tears; they come in floods, and as he shakes his head he sprinkles his neighbors.

Un des patients ne peut plus retenir ses larmes, les lâche à flots, et, secouant la tête, en arrose ses voisins.

When the footman came to tell him, in the middle of the night, that there were some gentlemen below asking for him, he could not hold back any longer. He got up and went downstairs in all haste.

Quand un valet de chambre vint lui dire, au milieu de la nuit, qu’il y avait en bas des messieurs qui le demandaient, il ne put rester sage plus longtemps, il se leva et descendit en toute hâte.

Jacques was less fortunate in gathering his walnuts. It rained for several days; but I consoled him with the advice to hold back his nuts and sell them a little later.

Jacques fut moins heureux pour la cueillette de ses noyers il plut pendant quelques jours, mais je le consolai en lui conseillant de garder ses noix, pour les vendre un peu plus tard.

"Ah, my boy, there are times when I've just got to hold myself back with a hook," came the strained and gloomy tones, while the blood flushed to the fleshy parts of his cheeks and neck.

– Ah ! mon vieux !… Y a des fois qu’i’ faudrait me r’tenir avec un crochet, martela-t-il avec un sombre accent, tandis que le sang affluait aux quartiers de chair de son encolure et de ses joues.

Oh, God! to think that she was there with her devouring passion, her bleeding motherly heart--that she was there beholding everything, without daring to risk one movement to hold him back!

By the garden gate stands the rose-tree that he knows so well—it never used its thorns except to try to hold him back a little as he went by.

À l’entrée du jardin se tient le rosier qu’il connaît bien et qui ne se sert de ses épines que pour essayer de le retenir un peu quand il passe.
