This oratory, which had been established in a large whitewashed room with four big windows, was bright and cheerful, and would, he thought, have a calming effect upon the excited imagination of his penitent.
Cet oratoire, établi dans une grande pièce blanchie à la chaux, avec quatre immenses fenêtres, était d'une gaieté sur laquelle il comptait pour calmer l'imagination, surexcitée de sa pénitente.

The yellow-curtained bed, the walnut chest of drawers, and the three straw-bottomed chairs seemed lost below that lofty ceiling with whitewashed joists.

The Kyrie Eleisons rang quiveringly through that sort of whitewashed stable with flat ceiling and bedaubed beams.

From outside, through the four large windows, whose panes were daubed with a coating of white lead, nothing could be seen but the bare whitewashed ceiling.

The whitewashed walls and the flooring of shiny, red tiles looked, however, extremely clean amidst this intentional bareness, which was similar to that of a monkish refectory.
Mais les murs passés à la chaux, le carreau d’un rouge luisant, tout paraissait très propre, dans ce dénuement voulu de réfectoire monacal.

We thought he might, at least, have had it whitewashed or tarred - had SOMETHING done to it to distinguish it from a bit of a wreck; but he could not see any fault in it.
Il aurait pu au moins, grognâmes-nous, le faire badigeonner à la chaux ou au goudron, y ajouter quoi que ce fût susceptible de le distinguer d’une épave. Mais il se refusait à lui trouver un seul défaut.
