Monsieur de Rieu seemed unwell; he had long been a martyr to disease of the liver; but his face, though yellow and shrunk with his complaint, had lost none of its haughty scornfulness, and his eyes twinkled as ironically as ever.
M. de Rieu paraissait souffrant; depuis longtemps une maladie de foie le martyrisait; mais son visage, jauni et crispé par le mal, gardait sa hauteur dédaigneuse, son ironique clignement de paupières.

St. Clare was at last willing to call in medical advice, – a thing from which he had always shrunk, because it was the admission of an unwelcome truth.

Pathfinder avait pris Mabel pour arbitre parce qu’elle lui plaisait, et que le rang était presque sans aucun prix à ses yeux : mais la présence de trois femmes d’officiers fit hésiter le lieutenant Muir.

Once precipitation has begun, the water content begins to shrink, so that there are few supercooled droplets left when the cumulus reaches the dissipation stage.
Après le début des précipitations, le contenu en eau se met à diminuer, de sorte qu'au moment où le cumulonimbus atteint le stade de dissipation, il ne reste que peu de gouttelettes surfondues.
