There was a sound of loud laughter; the auctioneers shouted at the top of their voices; the dealers who had filled the benches in front of the auction table tried in vain to obtain silence, in order to transact their business in peace.
On riait fort ; les commissaires criaient à tue-tête ; les marchands qui avaient envahi les bancs disposés devant les tables de vente essayaient en vain d'imposer silence, pour faire leurs affaires tranquillement.

Three men were drinking and smoking with their elbows on the oak tables; the book-keeper in her desk was reading a novel, while the master, in his shirt-sleeves, lay sound asleep on a bench.
Trois buveurs fumaient leurs pipes, accoudés aux tables de chêne, la caissière lisait un roman, tandis que le patron, en manches de chemise, dormait tout à fait sur la banquette.
