She had received her husband's reproaches with angelic sweetness, bowing her head like a culprit, whereby she was able to smile in her sleeve.

Euterpe, the cyclist, passes and gives us good-day. Then he turns in his tracks and draws from the cuff of his coat-sleeve an envelope, whose protruding edge had conferred a white stripe on him.
Le cycliste Euterpe, que nous avons revu depuis, passe et nous dit bonjour. Une fois passé, il revient sur ses pas et tire du parement de sa manche une enveloppe dont le bord dépassant lui faisait un galon blanc.

So saying, Deerslayer turned away, like one resolved to waste no more words on the subject, while Hutter pulled Harry by the sleeve, and led him into the ark. There they sat long in private conference.
À ces mots, Deerslayer s’éloigna de l’air d’un homme décidé à ne pas prolonger une conversation oiseuse, et Hutter tira Harry par la manche, puis le conduisit dans l’arche, où ils eurent un long et secret entretien.

I was favoured with only a slight glimpse of this dangerous meteor, and had made up my mind to "'ware steel," when someone plucked me by the sleeve, and turning, I beheld my quondam acquaintance of the purple magna.
Je ne fis qu'entrevoir comme un éclair ce dangereux instrument, et je pensais à me mettre en garde, lorsque quelqu'un me tira par la manche; je me retournai et me trouvai en face de mon précédent interlocuteur à la manga pourpre.
