Examples from texts

Then they remained alone in their dark, solitary nook under the spreading trees, she still sitting up in her box, and he kneeling on the grass, with his elbow resting on one of the wheels.
Alors, ils furent seuls dans leur coin d’ombre et de solitude, sous les grands arbres, elle toujours assise au fond de son chariot, lui agenouillé parmi les herbes, appuyé du coude à l’une des roues.
