Yet the shawl had slipped off her shoulders, and her hair had become unwound, some wanton tresses sweeping down to her hips.
Pourtant le châle était complètement tombé de ses épaules, découvrant la naissance de la gorge. Par-derrière, son chignon dénoué laissait pendre des mèches folles jusqu’à ses reins.

She was obliged to close her umbrella when she glided through the breach in the fence in the wake of the girl, who, slim and supple like a cat, glided on in front, bareheaded, in her ragged shawl.
Elle dut fermer son parapluie, quand il lui fallut, entre les planches rompues, se glisser par le trou, à la suite de la fille qui filait devant elle, dans sa loque de châle, la tête nue mince et souple comme une chatte.

Her voice became harsh, the llama shawl, which she no longer alluded to, was working her up to such a pitch of rancor and despair, that she ended by picking the quarrel with her lover which had already existed so long between her and her husband.
Sa voix devenait sèche, le châle de lama dont elle ne parlait plus, la travaillait d'un tel désespoir et d'une telle rancune, qu'elle finit par faire à son amant l'éternelle querelle dont elle poursuivait son mari.
"Here is a nice woollen shawl for you to wrap round you at daybreak, for the Gave is close by, and the mornings are very fresh, you know, in these mountainous parts."

It was a sparkling, frosty, starlight night, and the mother wrapped the shawl close round her child, as, perfectly quiet with vague terror, he clung round her neck.
C’était par une nuit étoilée, froide et étincelante; la mère serra son châle autour de l’enfant qui, muet de terreur, se collait à son cou.

He interrupted her to say, in a weary voice, like a man who only desires peace. " Listen, if it annoys you so much that it's a llama shawl, I will give you one in Cbantilly."
Il l'interrompit, il déclara d'une voix fatiguée, en homme qui désire la paix: – Écoute, si ça te contrarie trop qu'il soit en lama, je t'en donnerai un en chantilly.
She began to spend some of her evenings at home, or, if the weather was fine, she wrapped herself in a shawl, put on a veil, and we went on foot, like two children, in the dim alleys of the Champs-Elysees.
Déjà elle commençait à passer quelques soirées chez elle, ou bien, s'il faisait beau, elle s'enveloppait d'un cachemire, se couvrait d'un voile, et nous allions à pied, comme deux enfants, courir le soir dans les allées sombres des Champs-élysées.

Grace was unused to resist her mother's commands, and throwing off her hat and shawl, reseated herself with more composure than she would probably have done, had not the attentions of Moseley been more delicate and pointed of late than formerly.
Grace n’était pas habituée à résister aux ordres de sa mère, et, ôtant son châle et son chapeau, elle reprit son ouvrage avec plus de calme qu’elle ne l’aurait fait s’il lui était resté encore quelques doutes sur les sentiments de Moseley.

However, Clorinde, who, to employ her nervous fingers, was knotting a corner of her shawl, caught sight of pretty Madame Bouchard walking slowly along the garden, upon M. d'Escorailles' arm, with her head inclined over his shoulder.
