Madame Campardon continued to be enchanted with her, surprised that she did not steal anything, which was a fact, for her vice was of a different kind.
Du reste, madame Campardon continuait d'en être enchantée, s'étonnant de ce qu'elle ne la volait pas, ce qui était vrai, car son vice était ailleurs.
If I could snatch away from that world of nature, which you extol, its kirtle of sunshine and its girdle of greenery, you would see it hideous like a very fury, a skeleton, rotting away with disease and vice.
Si j'arrachais à ta nature sa jupe de soleil, sa ceinture de feuillage, tu la verrais hideuse comme une mégère, avec des côtes de squelette, toute mangée de vices...

With a hand yet as vigorous as a vice, Orlando detained him for a moment beside his arm-chair, whilst with his other hand waving in a supreme gesture, he for the last time showed him Rome, so immense and mournful under the ashen sky.
D’une main vigoureuse encore, pareille à un étau, il le retint un instant, contre son fauteuil d’infirme, tandis que de l’autre, d’un geste suprême, il lui montrait une dernière fois Rome, immense dans son deuil, sous le ciel de cendre.

"Hypocrisy is so mean a vice, I should not think a brave man could stoop to it," said Emily, "and Julia admits he was brave.»
– L’hypocrisie est un vice si bas, dit Émilie, que je ne crois pas qu’il puisse s’allier à la bravoure ; et Julia convient que son persécuteur est brave.
