And what suffering to have to lend herself so that the other might be created, so that she might be haunted by a nightmare of that rival, so that the latter might for ever rise between them, more powerful than reality!
et quelle souffrance de prêter sa chair, pour que l’autre naquît, pour que le cauchemar de cette rivale les hantât, fût toujours entre eux, plus puissant que le réel, dans l’atelier, à table, au lit, partout!

And the irony which poured from the girl's virgin lips, before that simple priest, was like a flood of mire with which she sought to submerge her rival.
Et son ironie, sortie de ses lèvres de vierge, devant ce prêtre innocent était comme un flot de boue cachée, dont elle cherchait à la noyer.

The force of Arabella's attack revealed to me the extent of her fear, and her secret admiration for her rival. In the morning I found her with tearful eyes, complaining that she had not slept.
La grandeur de l’attaque faite par Arabelle me révélait l’étendue de sa peur et sa secrète admiration pour sa rivale. Au matin, je la trouvai les yeux en pleurs et n’ayant pas dormi.

I mastered that feeling; and, friend Cap, what is almost as good, I mastered my rival in as fair a shooting-match as was ever witnessed in a garrison; he with his piece, and I with Killdeer, and before the General in person too!"
Je triomphai de mes désirs, et, ce qui est presque aussi bon, je triomphai de mon rival dans la plus belle partie de tir qu’une garnison ait jamais vue, lui avec son fusil et moi avec Tue-daim, et en présence du général !

The Englishwoman recognized her rival, and was gloriously English; she gave us a look full of insular contempt, and disappeared in the underbrush with the rapidity of an arrow.
L’Anglaise reconnut sa rivale et fut glorieusement Anglaise; elle nous enveloppa d’un regard plein de son mépris anglais et disparut dans la bruyère avec la rapidité d’une flèche.

Je ne pouvais lui déchirer à belles dents sa rivale, elle évitait d’en parler, et médire d’Arabelle était une infamie qui m’aurait fait mépriser Henriette magnifique et noble jusque dans les derniers replis de son cœur.
