For the sake of completeness I am obliged to speak of these last; but I do so with the certainty that I can say nothing useful on the subject.

Well, well, I am going to speak now, and I shall tell you all I know; because I see quite well that it is all this silence that is preying upon your heart.'

He would detain the latter in all the corners, casting mistrusted glances about; then, if he found they were alone, he would speak to him of her, always repeating the same stories in broken phrases.
Dans tous les coins, il arrêtait celui-ci, jetait autour d'eux des regards méfiants, puis s'ils étaient seuls, lui parlait d'elle, répétait toujours les mêmes histoires, en phrases heurtées.

The Crown, however, did not gain this title until it asserted sovereignty and it makes no sense to speak of a burden on the underlying title before that title existed.
Cependant, celle-ci n'a acquis ce titre qu'à compter du moment où elle a affirmé sa souveraineté sur le territoire en question et il serait absurde de parler d'une charge grevant le titre sous-jacent avant que celui-ci ait existé.
He began to speak, and compared the empire to an edifice.
Il trouva deux ou trois phrases. Il compara l'empire à un édifice.

"After all, what does it matter to me?" I said, affecting to speak in a nonchalant way. "I shall never see this woman again, and if I liked her before meeting her, it is quite different now that I know her."
– Après tout, que m'importe? dis-je en essayant de prendre un ton dégagé, je ne reverrai jamais cette femme, et si elle me plaisait avant que je la connusse, c'est bien changé maintenant que je la connais.

Whereas Churchill was concerned to speak to the British people and let himself be seen as often as was practicable, Hitler practically disappeared from the public eye.

"Ahs! me - well, poor Hetty, 'tis of no great use to talk to them that can't understand you, and so I'll say no more about what I did wish to speak of, though it lay heavy on my mind.
– Hélas ! hélas ! pauvre Hetty ! – Mais il n’y a pas grande utilité à parler à ceux qui ne peuvent vous comprendre ; ainsi je n’en dirai pas davantage sur le sujet dont je voulais vous parler, quoi qu’il pèse sur mon esprit.

Only the old people who sit on the planks, basking in the setting sun, speak occasionally among themselves of the bones which they once saw carted through the streets of Plassans by the legendary tumbrel.
Il n’y a que les vieux, assis sur les poutres et se chauffant au soleil couchant, qui parfois parlent encore entre eux des os qu’ils ont vu jadis charrier dans les rues de Plassans, par le tombereau légendaire.

His eyes opened with that anxious, distended gaze which is apt to accompany the passage of a soul surprised by death, and he seemed disposed to speak.
Ses yeux s’ouvrirent avec ce regard inquiet et égaré, qui accompagne souvent le départ d’une âme surprise par la mort, et il sembla disposé à parler.
