A brasier full of red and black masses huge and furious fell about me, excavating the ground, tearing it from under my feet, throwing me aside like a bouncing toy.
Un brasier avec d’immenses et furieuses masses rouges et noires tombait autour de moi, creusant la terre, l’ôtant de dessous mes pieds, et me jetant de côté comme un jouet rebondissant.

You can have no idea of the street or the caboose: a village street, full of fowls, and bordered by grassy banks; and a caboose like a child's toy, with tiny windows, a tiny door, a tiny garden.
… Puis, tu n’as pas idée de la rue ni de la cambuse: une rue de campagne, emplie de volailles, bordée de talus gazonnés; une cambuse pareille à un jouet d’enfant, avec de petites fenêtres, une petite porte, un petit jardin, oh!

"Will they not rather keep the toy they have, and send us off some bloody proofs of their getting the better of us in cunning, by way of boasting?
Ne garderont-ils pas plutôt ce qu’ils ont déjà en mains, et ne nous enverront-ils pas par forme de bravades des preuves sanglantes de la supériorité en fait d’astuce qu’ils croient avoir acquise sur nous ?

Et il voyait des choses qui le touchaient infiniment, des bouquets en tas déposés aux pieds de la Vierge, des ex-voto enfantins, des petits souliers fanés, un petit corselet de fer, une béquille de poupée, pareille à un joujou.
