When I asked for a night's lodging she said I was welcome to the 'bed in the loft', and very soon she set before me a hearty meal of ham and eggs, scones, and thick sweet milk.
Lorsque je lui demandai à loger pour la nuit elle me répondit que je serais le bienvenu «dans le lit du grenier», et elle me servit promptement un frugal repas composé d'œufs au lard, de galettes d'avoine et de lait crémeux.

It indeed proved necessary to climb a few more steps; and then, following Madame Theodore and Celine, Pierre found himself in a kind of narrow garret under the roof, a loft a few yards square, where one could not stand erect.
En effet, il fallut gravir quelques marches ; et, derrière Mme Théodore et Céline, Pierre se trouva dans une sorte d’étroit grenier, sous le toit, une soupente de quelques mètres carrés, où l’on ne pouvait se tenir debout.

And so, amidst this abundance of riches, several large heaps of big sous remained in the loft, where Sister-of-the-poor was grieved to see them occupying the place of twenty or thirty trusses of straw.
Or, dans cette abondance de biens, plusieurs tas de gros sous dormaient au grenier, où Sœur-des-Pauvres se chagrinait de les voir occuper la place de vingt à trente bottes de paille.

It was one of the books stored away in the loft, an odd volume of Holbach, which he had been reading since the morning, while watching by Albine's body.
C'était un des bouquins du grenier, un volume dépareillé d'Holbach!, qu'il lisait depuis le matin, en veillant le corps d'Albine.

At ten I was nodding in my chair, and the 'bed in the loft' received a weary man who never opened his eyes till five o'clock set the little homestead a-going once more.
À 10 heures je vacillais sur ma chaise, et le «lit du grenier» reçut un homme éreinté qui n'ouvrit plus les yeux jusqu'à 5 heures, moment où le lever du soleil mit de nouveau sur pied la petite maisonnée.

True, there is, in the loft, a folding-bedstead, which perhaps, at a pinch, madame might make do until to-morrow. But I really don't know how Monsieur l'Abbé is to manage to sleep.'
Il y a bien, au grenier, un lit de sangle, dont madame, à la rigueur, pourrait s'accommoder jusqu'à demain; seulement, je ne vois pas trop sur quoi coucherait monsieur l'abbé.

There is danger that our humble friend Tom be neglected amid the adventures of the higher born; but, if our readers will accompany us up to a little loft over the stable, they may, perhaps, learn a little of his affairs.
Entraînée par les aventures de gens du monde, peut-être avons-nous trop négligé notre humble ami Tom. Mais si le lecteur veut bien nous suivre dans une petite soupente, au dessus de l’écurie, nous le remettrons au courant.

When he was dressed, he went down to Monsieur Gourd to get the key of this common loft, where all the tenants got rid of whatever things were in their way, or which they had no present use for.
Lorsqu'il fut habillé, il descendit prendre, chez M. Gourd, la clef de ce grenier commun, où les locataires se débarrassaient des objets encombrants et hors d'usage.
Then, as there was no need of more hands on the farm, when, in spite of all she did, the sous accumulated in the loft, she went up there, on the sly, and took pleasure in diminishing her wealth.
Puis, comme les bons bras ne manquaient pas à la ferme, lorsque, malgré elle, les sous s’amassaient au grenier, elle y montait en cachette, elle s’appauvrissait à plaisir.

She had kept the little bag that devoured the big sous so easily; it did its duty in a conscientious way, and soon cleaned out the loft.
