And she began to whine once more, never giving Madeleine a chance of speaking, and varying her lamentations with curious smiles as she remembered her pleasures.
Et elle recommença à geindre. Elle parlait seule, elle coupait ses lamentations de sourires étranges, au souvenir de ses voluptés.

There was an enchanting stillness in the air, broken only by an occasional whine from the prairie wolf, the distant snoring of my companions, and the "crop, crop" of our horses shortening the crisp grass.
Un calme enchanteur régnait dans l'air; le silence était rompu seulement par les hurlements intermittents du loup de la prairie, le ronflement lointain de mes compagnons, et le crop-crop de nos chevaux tondant l'herbe.
