Examples from texts

One situated as he was must create resources, draw food from the earth step by step, each time a little mouth opened and cried its hunger aloud. Otherwise he would be guilty of criminal improvidence.

She stopped two or three times before the shop-windows, as if absorbed in a sight which she did not even see, and each time she started off again with a more excited step.
Elle s’arrêta, à deux ou trois reprises, devant des étalages, comme toute au spectacle d’objets qu’elle ne voyait seulement pas. Et, chaque fois, elle reprit sa course, d’un pas plus saccadé.
