C’était une longue salle, où un double rang de simples tables de sapin était aligné. Il n’y avait pas d’autres meubles, rien qu’une autre table pour la desserte, et des chaises de cabaret, au siège de paille.

La Teuse lifted it reverently from the shelf covered with blue paper, on which she laid it after each service; and having placed it on the sideboard, she cautiously removed the fine cloths which protected its embroidery.

La Teuse la souleva religieusement de la planche garnie de papier bleu, où elle la couchait après chaque cérémonie; elle la posa sur le buffet, enlevant avec précaution les linges fins qui en garantissaient les broderies.

'Oh, Mademoiselle Desiree has been down a long time,' answered the servant, who was kneeling before an old kitchen sideboard in which the sacred vestments were kept.

- Il y a beau temps que mademoiselle Désirée est descendue, répondit la servante, agenouillée devant un ancien buffet de cuisine, dans lequel étaient serrés les vêtements sacrés.

I went round the flat and found that everything had been ransacked--the inside of books, drawers, cupboards, boxes, even the pockets of the clothes in my wardrobe, and the sideboard in the dining-room.

Je passai en revue l'appartement, et découvris que tout avait été fouillé – l'intérieur des livres, les tiroirs, les placards, les cassettes, jusqu'aux poches des vêtements dans ma garde-robe, et au buffet de la salle à manger.

For a few seconds they examined each other, mute and frigid, the husband near the table, the wife stooping down before the sideboard.

Ils s'examinèrent ainsi pendant quelques secondes, muets et froids, le mari près de la table, la femme pliée devant le buffet.

When they had gone, he looked at Jules, who was still in a state of collapse on his chair, and at Marie leaning against the sideboard and looking very pale.

Quand ils furent partis, il regarda Jules atterré sur sa chaise et Marie très pâle devant le buffet.

" And you," added the father, causing his daughter to draw back trembling as far as the sideboard, " do not try to defend him, you are quite as guilty.

– Et toi, ajoutait le père, en faisant reculer jusqu'au buffet sa fille toute tremblante, ne le défends pas, tu es aussi coupable....

However, it was the mistress of the house who carved, while the master took his place facing her, against the blockaded sideboard, in order to hand round whatever things might be required.

D’ailleurs, c’était la maîtresse de maison qui servait; et le maître, lui, se plaçait en face, contre le buffet bloqué, pour y prendre et passer ce dont on avait besoin.

In the meanwhile, Therese had bent down before the sideboard, and grasping the kitchen knife sought to slip it into one of the large pockets hanging from her waist.

Pendant ce temps, Thérèse s'était accroupie devant le buffet; elle avait pris le couteau de cuisine et cherchait à le glisser dans une des grandes poches qui pendaient à sa ceinture.

However, on grand occasions half a score of people still gathered round the table, under the white porcelain hanging lamp, but this was only accomplished by blocking up the sideboard, so that the servant could not even pass to take a plate from it.

Pourtant, les grands jours, on tenait encore une dizaine autour de la table ronde sous la suspension de porcelaine blanche, mais à la condition de condamner le buffet, si bien que la bonne ne pouvait plus y aller chercher une assiette.
