Camille had ceased giving his arm to Therese. He was chatting with Laurent, laughing at the jests, at the feats of strength of his friend, who leapt the ditches and raised huge stones above his head.

And his race soon acquired all the frenzy of despair. Haggard and breathless he leapt mounds, rushed past multitudinous obstacles.

Then he leapt back into the house and set fire to the heaps in the drawing-room and dining-room, and then to those in the kitchen and the hall.

D'un bond, il rentra, enflamma les tas du salon et de la salle à manger, de la cuisine et du vestibule.

But whilst she was tranquillising herself at seeing nobody there, she raised her eyes to the canvas, and a terrible cry leapt from her gaping mouth:'Claude! oh, Claude!'

Mais, comme elle se rassurait en n’apercevant personne, elle leva les yeux vers la toile, et un cri terrible jaillit de sa gorge béante. «Claude, oh! Claude… »

She finished her bread and butter and drained her glass of water. Then she leapt to her feet on the table, with a spring that testified to her adroitness as a horsewoman.

Elle acheva sa tartine, vida d'un trait le verre d'eau pure, et se mit debout sur la table, d'un saut qui attestait son habileté d'écuyère.

The young dark man leapt for the window, was through it, and over the low fence before a hand could touch him.

Le jeune homme brun s'élança, et sautant par la fenêtre, il franchit la clôture basse avant qu'une main pût le saisir.

And when his revolting heart yet leapt and shrieked with anguish, he carried his vigorous hands to his chest in order to still it.

Quand son cœur révolté bondissait encore et criait d’angoisse, il posait ses deux mains vigoureuses sur sa poitrine, il l’étouffait.

A double file of quivering stars leapt into view on the left-hand side of the Basilica, and then followed the monumental, gradient way, whose curve is gradually described.

C’était comme une double haie d’étoiles tremblantes, qui, surgissant du coin gauche de la Basilique, suivait maintenant la rampe monumentale, dont elle dessinait la rondeur.

But with a supreme effort he leapt upon a bank, crawled to its summit, rose again, and once more found himself alone, still running on amid the fresh and quiet greenery.
