He lay perfectly quiet for two or three minutes, trusting to the single sense of hearing, confident that the noise in the lake would reach his ears, did any one venture to approach by swimming.

Du point de vue de ce dernier, l'établissement de l'appelante, si louable soit-il, l'a confié aux soins personnels de M. Curry et a donc vraiment accru le risque qu'il soit agressé.
What she had said to her aunt was true enough-she was afraid of him; and in saying that she had no sense of weakness she meant that she was not afraid of herself.
Ce qu'elle avait dit à sa tante était bien vrai : elle avait peur de lui ; et en déclarant qu'on ne pouvait l'accuser de faiblesse, ce n'était pas à lui, mais à elle seule qu'elle pensait.

Had the word lost its power, or could the failing eye and weary sense no longer answer to the touch of that mighty inspiration?
La Parole avait-elle donc perdu de sa force? ses yeux défaillants, ses sens émoussés, ne répondaient-ils plus à l’appel de cette inspiration puissante?

Technically, you are a rebel, and the British, if you go to them, will hang you, supposing they have any sense.
Techniquement, vous êtes un rebelle. Les Anglais vous pendront si vous tombez en leur pouvoir, en admettant qu’ils aient encore quelque bon sens.

"O, ridiculous, Emily! You are the finest woman in Kentucky; but still you haven't sense to know that you don't understand business; – women never do, and never can.
– Oh! c’est absurde, Émilie! vous êtes la femme la plus accomplie du Kentucky; mais vous n’avez pas le sens commun en affaires. Les femmes ne s’y entendent pas, et ne s’y entendront jamais.
