And with what enraptured glances did she then examine everything--the altar of engraved silver, the harmonium-organ, the votive offerings, the candle-holders, streaming with wax blazing in broad daylight.
Et de quels regards extasiés elle examina tout, l’autel d’argent gravé, l’orgue-harmonium, les ex-voto, les herses ruisselantes de cire, flambantes dans le plein jour !

He had no need of the map for he had long since got his route by heart, and what was once fixed in that mind stuck like wax; but I made him take Stumm's plan and paper, hidden below his shirt.
Il n’avait que faire de la carte, car il connaissait déjà la route par cœur; il n’oubliait jamais ce qui était une fois gravé dans sa mémoire. Je lui remis le plan et le document de Stumm, il les cacha dans sa chemise.

After pressing a large blank seal upon the wax she turned the envelopes over and slowly addressed them in big handwriting.
Quand elle avait posé sur la cire un large cachet sans initiale, elle retournait l'enveloppe, elle écrivait l'adresse, lentement, de sa grosse écriture.

Behind them the ladies triumphed and boasted one to the other. The cleverest and most envied was a girl of eighteen, who had sold one of them a stick of sealing wax for three louis.
Derrière leur dos, elles triomphaient, elles se vantaient; la plus forte, la plus jalousée fut une demoiselle de dix-huit ans, qui avait vendu un bâton de cire à cacheter trois louis.

Instead of reinventing those twenty-four hours in such a way as to milk them for significance, I needed to hold on to what little I knew of them, tell that and avoid the temptation to wax philosophical.
Au lieu de réinventer ces vingt-quatre heures pour en tirer le sens, il fallait retenir le peu que j'en savais et le dire en évitant toute tentation philosophique.

It was occasioned by the somewhat stifling fumes of the burning wax, by the transplendent ecstasy into which one sank amidst the glare of the tapers.
Elle était faite de l’odeur un peu étouffante de la cire, de l’éblouissement d’extase où l’on tombait, au milieu de la splendeur des cierges.

The odor of the flowers, mingling with that of the burning wax, seemed rather oppressive amid the deep and tragic stillness.
L’odeur, mêlée à celle de la cire chaude, en était un peu suffocante, au milieu du grand silence qui tombait de toute cette tragique immobilité.

Meanwhile a crowd is gathered around an outfitter's shop-window where the proprietor has contrived, with the aid of mannikins in wood and wax, a ridiculous tableau.
Cependant le public se masse autour d’une devanture où un marchand de confections a réalisé, à l’aide de mannequins de bois et de cire, un groupe ridicule.

Men of learning, whose investigations are guided by rational logic alone, are fain to believe that the world is always governed by it, and wax indignant when phenomena seem to elude its influence.
Dirigés uniquement par la logique rationnelle dans leurs investigations. les savants veulent toujours la voir conduire le monde et s'indignent dès que les phénomènes semblent échapper à son influence.

The falling drops of wax now and again ruffled its surface.
Des gouttes de cire tombaient, l’animaient d’un frémissement.

"Well, never mind; I'll look your box over, – thimble, wax, two spools, scissors, knife, tape-needle; all right, – put it in here.
– Jamais d’attention! Allons, je m’en vais faire la revue de votre ménagère: – un dé, la cire, deux bobines, les ciseaux, le poinçon, l’aiguille à passer. – À merveille! – mettez-la-moi là.

And it was a sight to see them, all almost equally affected by the tepid odour of the wax, half stifling in the heavy tabernacle air which gathered beneath the rocky vault, and lowering their eyes for fear of slipping on the gratings.
Et il fallait les voir, tous presque aussi émus, dans l’odeur tiède de la cire, un peu étouffés par cet air lourd de tabernacle qui s’amassait sous la roche, regardant à leurs pieds, par crainte de glisser sur les grilles de fonte.
