His voice had become husky with emotion, and he added:'That is, unless madness plunges us, topsy-turvy, into night again, and we all go off throttled by the ideal, like our old friend who sleeps there between his four boards.'
Sa voix s’était altérée d’une émotion profonde, et il ajouta: «À moins que la folie ne nous fasse culbuter dans le noir, et que nous ne partions tous, étranglés par l’idéal, comme le vieux camarade qui dort là, entre ses quatre planches.»

Instead of throttling his old fellow-traveler, Hurry turned to the girl and poured out a portion of his discontent, if none of his anger, in her attentive ears.
Au lieu de saisir à la gorge son ancien compagnon de voyage, Hurry se tourna du côté de la jeune fille, aux oreilles attentives de laquelle il exhala une partie de son mécontentement, sinon de son courroux.

Here Deerslayer's antagonist so far recovered his breath and his recollection, for he had been throttled nearly to strangulation, as to relate the manner in which the girl had got off.
L’antagoniste de Deerslayer, que celui-ci avait presque étranglé, avait alors repris haleine, et il recouvra assez de force pour raconter à ses compagnons de quelle manière Hist s’était échappée.
