Examples from texts

Now he had no one to love; the fatal knot which had already been tied' between James and Madeleine seemed to him so strong, so living, that he accused them of adultery, as though they had, the night bo-fore, surrendered themselves to each other.
Maintenant il n’avait plus personne à aimer; le lien fatal qui s’était noué jadis entre Jacques et Madeleine, lui paraissait si solide, si vivant, qu’il les accusait d’adultère, comme s’ils se fussent, la veille encore, livrés l’un à l’autre.

The lad lighted a knot, and came off fairly under its blaze to give us this warning; and no man here should harm him, while empl'yed on such an ar'n'd.
Le jeune homme avait allumé une torche, et il est venu ouvertement, à sa lueur, pour nous donner cet avertissement ; personne ici ne touchera à sa personne, tandis qu’il remplit une semblable mission.

It was flying high, but as I looked it dropped several hundred feet and began to circle round the knot of hill in narrowing circles, just as a hawk wheels before it pounces.
Il volait haut, mais sous mes yeux il s'abaissa de quelques cents pieds et se mit à décrire des orbes toujours plus étroits alentour du massif montagneux, exactement comme un faucon tourne avant de s'abattre.

Her rosy face did not even show traces of the water, her thick hair was twisted in a knot at the back of her head, not a single lock out of place.
Son visage rosé ne gardait même pas l’humidité de l’eau, son lourd chignon se tordait sur sa nuque, sans qu’une mèche dépassât.

Volpatte's head—enveloped in rags with a big knot on the top and the same dark yellowish stains as his face—looks like a bundle of dirty linen.
La tête de Volpatte, enveloppée de toiles, avec un gros nœud au sommet, et qui présente la tache jaunâtre et noirâtre de la figure, semble un ballot de linge sale.
