When we finally were led into Pachita's chambers at dusk, we found her seated at a desk in a lighted room, her hair done up in pink curlers—the witch backstage.
Quand nous fumes finalement introduits dans les quartiers de Pachita, au crépuscule, nous la trouvâmes assise à un bureau, dans une pièce éclairée, les cheveux remontés et tenus par des bigoudis roses — une sorcière dans l'intimité.

Volpatte, deaf to all the talk, muffled in his blanket as if in a shawl which makes him look like an old witch, revolves round an object that lies on the ground.
Sourd à tous les discours, Volpatte, affublé de sa couverture comme d’un châle, ce qui lui donne l’air d’une vieille sorcière, tourne autour d’un objet qui gît par terre.

Briefly, such was the plotting and intriguing that never had any witch's cauldron brimful of drugs and nameless abominations been set to boil on a more hellish fire than that of this parliamentary cook-shop.
