Jusqu’en 1830, les habitants restèrent catholiques pratiquants et fervents royalistes; le peuple lui-même ne jurait que par Dieu et que par ses rois légitimes.

Barque, who is an observant man, sends an itinerant glance around, takes his pipe from his mouth, spits, winks, and says—"I say, we don't resemble each other much."
Barque, qui est observateur, promène un regard circulaire, retire sa pipe de sa bouche, crache, cligne de l’œil et dit : – Tout de même, c’qu’on ne se ressemble pas !

Miss Ophelia had listened to this conversation with an air of shrewd, observant gravity; and she still kept her lips tightly compressed, as if determined fully to ascertain her longitude and position, before she committed herself.
Miss Ophélia avait écouté cette conversation d’un air grave et observateur; à ce moment elle serra fortement les lèvres, comme une personne décidée à reconnaître son terrain avant de se risquer.

The Serpent was in the background of the picture, erect, and motionless as a statue; but so observant that not a look of the eye escaped his own keen glances.
Le Grand-Serpent était à l’arrière-plan du tableau, droit et immobile, mais observateur si attentif que rien de ce qui se passait ne lui échappait.
