Marie lay reclined on a sofa, opposite the window opening on the verandah, closely secluded, under an awning of transparent gauze, from the outrages of the mosquitos, and languidly holding in her hand an elegantly bound prayer-book.
En face, devant la fenêtre ouverte du salon, défendue des atteintes des moustiques par un rempart de gaze hermétiquement fermé, sa femme, ensevelie dans les coussins d’un sofa, tenait à la main, vu le jour, un livre de prières élégamment relié.

Mabel was half reclining behind her uncle, while the Pathfinder and Eau-douce stood erect, the one in the bow, and the other in the stern, each using a paddle, with a long, steady, noiseless sweep.
Mabel était à demi couchée sur une partie de son bagage derrière son oncle, tandis que Pathfinder et Eau-douce se tenaient debout, l’un sur l’avant, l’autre sur l’arrière, chacun ayant en main une rame qu’il savait manier sans bruit.

It was towards the middle of the afternoon, as she was so reclining, – her Bible half open, her little transparent fingers lying listlessly between the leaves, – suddenly she heard her mother's voice, in sharp tones, in the verandah.
Vers le milieu de l’après-midi, comme elle était ainsi penchée, – sa Bible entr’ouverte, et ses frêles petits doigts oubliés entre les feuillets, – elle entendit tout à coup la voix de sa mère montée à un aigre diapason.

As Deerslayer spoke, he threw on the table on which the other was reclining with one elbow a sort of miniature fagot, composed of a dozen sticks bound tightly together with a deer-skin thong.
