The tears came at last as he saw this poor little creature, hot scalding tears which eased both his head and his heart.

En voyant ce pauvre petit être, il pleura des larmes chaudes qui soulagèrent sa tête et son cœur.

Each one has had his supping mess, The cheese is put into the press, The pans and bowls, clean scalded all, Reared up against the milk-house wall.

« Chacun a reçu sa portion du soir, le fromage est dans sa forme, les terrines et les bols soigneusement échaudés sont rangés le long des murailles de la laiterie. »

Then he carried his two hands to his face, to his bloodshot eyes and his cheeks wet with scalding tears, and fled, heaving a terrible, pain-fraught sigh in which baffled passion mingled with grief and repentance.

Puis, il passa les deux mains sur son visage, les joues ruisselantes, les yeux sanglants ; et il s’enfuit, en poussant un soupir, un han ! terrible et douloureux, où son désir refoulé se débattait encore dans des larmes et dans du repentir.

Montmorency went and put his nose over it once, and the fat spluttered up and scalded him, and then he began dancing and cursing.

Montmorency s’aventura une fois à renifler la poêle, la graisse lui jaillit sur le museau, et lui aussi se mit à trépigner et à aboyer des injures.
