Slowly, with grave air and gloomy visage, the Cardinal carried the fig to the parrot and gave it to her without hesitation or regret.
Lentement, de son air sérieux, le visage noyé d’ombre, le cardinal porta la figue à la perruche, la lui donna, sans une hésitation ni un regret.

And here again, Tata, the parrot, lay still soft and warm at the foot of her stand, with her beak stained by oozing blood.
Et ici, en bas de son perchoir, Tata, la perruche, gisait de même, molle et tiède, le bec taché d’une goutte de sang.

Then he took a fig and examined it, but, noticing nothing strange, was about to put it back when Tata, the parrot, who was very fond of figs, raised a strident cry.
Enfin, il prit une figue, l’approcha, comme pour l’examiner de tout près. Mais elle n’offrait rien de particulier, il allait la remettre parmi les autres, lorsque Tata, la perruche, qui adorait les figues, poussa un cri strident.

The maid, on being summoned, brought in first some dry biscuits in deep tin boxes, those crisp, insipid English cakes which seem to have been made for a parrot's beak, and soldered into metal cases for a voyage round the world.
La bonne appelée apporta d'abord des gâteaux secs en de profondes boîtes de fer-blanc, ces fades et cassantes pâtisseries anglaises qui semblent cuites pour des becs de perroquet et soudées en des caisses de métal pour des voyages autour du monde.

Pierre in his turn looked up and saw the bird, one of those pretty little parrots with soft, silky, dull-green plumage.
Pierre, levant les yeux lui aussi, regardait la perruche, une de ces jolies petites perruches d’un vert cendré, si soyeuses et si souples.

The characterization of the notes of Mr. Keays' doctor as "cryptic" and as merely "parroting" his complaints is unfair because of the self-reporting nature of his condition.
Vu la nature subjective des douleurs ressenties par M. Keays, il est injuste de qualifier les billets du médecin de « sibyllins » et d'affirmer que ce dernier se contentait d'y reprendre les propos de son patient.
