But the young man was either ignorant of the ties which linked Salvat to his father, or else he possessed great power of self-control, for he merely smiled at Grandidier's sketch of the magistrate.

Mais, soit que le jeune homme ignorât le lien qui nouait Salvat à son père, soit qu’il eût sur lui-même un grand empire, il souriait simplement du portrait de ce juge.

Then I lost my self-control; I reproached her, I spoke of my sufferings, and the slight alleviation that I asked for them.

Now and again, when he recovered self-control, he marvelled at the tempest within him; for was he not a savant guided by lofty reason, a toiler to whom long experience had brought serenity?

However, on hearing that Cardinal Sanguinetti had been there that morning, and had pronounced the affair of the book to be very serious, he appeared to lose his self-control for a moment, for he spoke out with sudden vivacity:

Mais, au nom de Sanguinetti, en apprenant qu’il était venu le matin et qu’il avait déclaré l’affaire du livre très grave, il parut s’oublier un instant, il parla avec une soudaine vivacité.

Whilst she was seated in this way, listening in the house that trembled and sighed, Angelique lost all self-control, and again the tears rolled down her face, silently, but warm and living, as if they were her life's blood.

Et, pendant qu'elle était assise, écoutant la maison frissonnante et soupirante, Angélique ne pouvait se contenir, ses larmes coulaient encore; mais, à présent, elles ruisselaient muettes, tièdes et vives, pareilles au sang de ses veines.

When on the return from Montmartre Gerard had set him down at his door in the Rue Godot-de-Mauroy, he had at once gone to bed, like a man who is determined to compel sleep, so that he may forget his worries and recover self-control.
