Elle fit un pas vers son mari, lui posa les mains sur les épaules, et, le regardant de ses yeux froids: – Jacques est ton ami? demanda-t-elle d’un ton bref.
Then in a beseeching tone she would repeat her favourite expression, "Take me, take me," urged by that irresistible need for kisses that children sometimes feel.

"She will, too truly, – God knows I'm afraid so!" said St. Clare, in a tone of sudden bitterness, as he hurried down to take her off her horse.
– Trop vrai, peut-être, hélas! – Dieu sait si je le redoute!» murmura Saint-Clair avec une soudaine amertume; et, s’élançant au bas des degrés, il courut enlever sa fille de dessus la selle.

When she presented her basket at the scales, he had hoped for some concession, and addressed her in a sort of half conciliatory, half scornful tone; and she had answered with the bitterest contempt.
