We know it well, and he knows it well. Lifting his head he has looked in turn, with the same distant gaze, at the back of the old man who went to seek his treasure, and at the group that talks of going away no more.
On le sait bien ; lui aussi le sait bien : relevant la tête, il a regardé successivement du même œil lointain, le dos du vieux qui allait à la chasse de son trésor, et notre groupe qui parlait de ne plus s’en aller !

The old man huddled up at the end of the seat—no other than the treasure-seeking grandfather whom we saw the day of our arrival—came nearer and lifted his finger.

Her little bag had remained open on her knees, and Alexandre, with his glittering eyes, was searching it, weighing in fancy all the treasure of the poor that it contained, all the gold and silver and even the copper money that distended its sides.
Son petit sac était resté ouvert sur ses genoux ; et, de ses yeux luisants, Alexandre le fouillait, y soupesait le trésor des pauvres, l’or et l’argent, les gros sous même qui gonflaient le cuir.

What was the use, then, of all the money which Leo XIII drew from his hidden treasure of the Peter's Pence to subvention Catholic schools, with the thought of forming the believing generations which the papacy needed to enable it to conquer?
Qu’importait alors tout l’argent que Léon XIII prélevait sur son trésor caché du denier de saint Pierre, afin d’en doter les écoles catholiques, dans la pensée d’y former la génération croyante de demain, dont la papauté avait besoin pour vaincre !

The Church doubtless had material wants; she could not live without money; prudence and policy had dictated the thought of gaining for her such a treasure as would enable her to fight her adversaries victoriously.
Sans doute, l’Église avait des besoins matériels, elle ne pouvait vivre sans argent, c’était une pensée de prudence et de haute politique que de lui gagner un trésor pour lui permettre de combattre victorieusement ses adversaires.

Sorrow is like the divining- rod that used to avail the seekers of treasure or of clear running water; for he who may have it about him unerringly makes for the house where profoundest peace has its home.
La douleur ressemble à la baguette divinatoire dont se servaient jadis les chercheurs de trésors ou d'eaux vives; elle indique à celui qui la porte l'entrée de la demeure où respire la paix la plus profonde.
