One can't after all overthrow a ministry to enable you to play the part of Pauline."

On ne peut pourtant pas renverser un ministère pour ce que vous jouiez Pauline.

To Clorinde he would say that his brother-in-law had seemed very nervous for some time past, and he would even hint that the fitting time for his overthrow had come.

Son beau-frère, disait-il, était très nerveux depuis quelque temps.

What stratagem will they devise, I wonder, to overthrow the Marquis? They will certainly have recourse to one of some kind or other; they will do their best somehow to e£fect the conquest of Plassans.'

Hein! que vont-ils inventer pour jeter par terre le marquis? car ils inventeront quelque chose, ils tâcheront, d'une façon ou d'une autre, de faire la conquête de Plassans.

In March, during the Kapp Putsch, when a short-lived armed coup had attempted to overthrow the government, forcing it to flee from the Reich capital, he sent him with Dietrich Eckart to Berlin to instruct Wolfgang Kapp on the situation in Bavaria.

The coterie put on the airs of a religious sect tg which the only means of salvation had been exclusively entrusted, and its members soon openly plotted the fat man's overthrow for the good of the country.

La bande affectait des allures de secte religieuse apportant le salut. Maintenant, elle complotait d'une façon ouverte le renversement du gros homme, pour le plus grand bien du pays.

Ah! what could it matter to that poor old wretch, dying of hunger on his bed of rags, whether Mege should overthrow Barroux's ministry, and whether a Vignon ministry should ascend to power or not!

Ah ! qu’importait au vieux misérable, crevant de faim sur ses haillons, que Mège renversât le ministère Barroux, et qu’un ministère Vignon arrivât au pouvoir !

It would be most improper to have to set down in history, one of these days, how the stupid obstinacy of a dog sufficed to overthrow a great empire.

Il serait peu convenable de forcer l’histoire à écrire un jour comme quoi le sot entêtement d’un chien a suffi pour bouleverser un grand empire.

Evidently enough his plan was to let Mege interpellate and overthrow the ministry, for he did not fear him, and in his own estimation would afterwards simply have to stoop to pick up the fallen portfolios.

Et son plan était évidemment de laisser Mège interpeller, renverser le ministère, car il ne le craignait pas, et il n’aurait ensuite, croyait-il, qu’à ramasser les portefeuilles tombés.

Pierre, at this overthrow of all his hopes, began to wonder what support he might still rely on if occasion should require any.

Pierre, dans cet écroulement de toutes ses espérances, songea aux quelques soutiens, sur lesquels, à l’occasion, il pourrait encore compter.

In his own mind a link was already forming between this arrest and that African Railways interpellation which was likely to overthrow the ministry on the morrow.

Confusément, déjà, un lien s’établissait en lui, entre cette arrestation et l’interpellation de Mège, l’autre affaire, celle des Chemins de fer africains, qui devait le lendemain renverser le ministère.

And the situation seemed so clear, and the overthrow of the ministry so certain, that Mege, who had meant to reply to the others, wisely abstained from doing so.

Mais la Chambre s’était ressaisie, la situation apparaissait si nette, le vote, si certain, que Mège, dont l’intention était de parler encore, eut la sagesse de se résigner au silence.

"And that big dunderhead Mege who works for every party except his own!" exclaimed Morin; "what a dupe he is with that idea that he need merely overthrow first one cabinet and then another, in order to become the leader of one himself!"

– Et ce grand niais de Mège, dit Morin, qui fait les affaires de tous les partis, excepté du sien ! Est-il assez dupe, avec son idée qu’il lui suffira d’user un à un les cabinets, pour aboutir à celui dont il sera le chef ? »

Yet the Congregation was so foolish as not to interdict that little book which he held in his hands, that humble book which alone was to be feared, which was the ever triumphant enemy that would surely overthrow the Church.

Et elle avait la sottise de ne pas interdire le petit livre classique qu’il tenait là, entre ses mains, le seul redoutable, l’ennemi toujours triomphant qui renverserait sûrement l’Église !
