I wrapped my skirt round Monsieur Dario's shoulders, you know, so I don't think any blood fell on the stairs.
J’avais enveloppé les épaules dans ma jupe, pas une goutte de sang n’a dû tomber ; et, tout à l’heure, je donnerai moi-même un coup d’éponge, en bas. »

It is only the skirt of these clouds, as I have termed it, that, soaring still higher, and escaping the attractive influence of the Nevada, floats on, and falls into the desert region.
Il n'y a que la bordure de ces nuages qui, s'élevant encore plus haut et échappant à l'attraction de la Nevada, traverse et vient s'abattre sur le désert.

The poor child had never dreamt of such a thing; he shook with trembling when she spoke to him, and ran away as soon as he caught sight of the hem of her skirt in the palace grounds.

He now roused his wife, who kept her eyes closed. When she had risen to her feet, and shaken her skirt, which was all crumpled, and covered with dry leaves, the party quitted the clearing, breaking the small branches they found in their way.
Puis il secoua sa femme, qui tenait les yeux fermés; lorsque Thérèse se fut dressée et qu'elle eut secoué ses jupes, fripées et couvertes de feuilles sèches, les trois promeneurs quittèrent la clairière, en cassant les petites branches devant eux.

She wore an orange-coloured skirt, with a large red kerchief fastened round her waist, thus looking like some gipsy in holiday garb.
Elle avait une jupe orange, avec un grand fichu rouge attaché derrière la taille, ce qui lui donnait un air de bohémienne endimanchée.

She would laugh at her own strength and agility as, for a moment, with her hair in disorder, she remained almost breathless, tapping her skirt to make it fall.

Et comme M. de Plouguern la regardait elle-même, dans sa robe de tarlatane toute simple, passée sur un dessous de faille rose mal taillé, elle continua, d'un ton de parfaite insouciance: «Oh! moi, la toilette, tu sais, parrain!

But, generally, it is only the skirt of a cloud, so to speak, that reaches thus far; and that, combined with the proper evaporation of the region itself, that is, from its own springs and rivers, yields all the rain that falls upon it.
Mais, généralement, ce sont seulement les bords des nuages qui arrivent jusque-là, et ces lambeaux de nuages combinés avec les vapeurs, résultant de l'évaporation propre des sources et des rivières du pays, fournissent toute la pluie qui y tombe.
