Examples from texts

And the worst is that we are not situated as you are; we haven't a reserve of men and money in a dense peasant population, whose thrifty savings are always at hand to fill up the gaps caused by big catastrophes.
Le pis est que nous n’avons pas, comme chez vous, dans la population dense des campagnes, une réserve d’argent et d’hommes, une épargne toujours prête à combler les trous creusés par les catastrophes.

At this, in one day, the unruly child was transformed into a thrifty, selfish lad, hurriedly matured, as regards his instincts, by the strange improvident life which he could no longer bear to see around him without a feeling of anguish.
L’enfant tapageur se transforma, du jour au lendemain, en un garçon économe et égoïste, mûri hâtivement dans le sens de ses instincts par l’étrange vie de gaspillage qu’il ne pouvait voir maintenant autour de lui sans en avoir le cœur crevé.
