Had it been displayed in a capital, a thousand might have worn it, before one could have been found to do more credit to its gay colours, glossy satins, and rich laces, than the beautiful creature whose person it now aided to adorn.
Étalée dans une capitale, cette parure splendide aurait pu être essayée par mille femmes avant qu’il s’en trouvât une seule qui pût y faire autant d’honneur que la belle créature dont elle servait alors à décorer la personne.

Elles s'entendaient bien ensemble, soignant leurs vices, la femme de chambre cachant l'ivrognerie de la cuisinière, et la cuisinière facilitant les sorties de la femme de chambre, d'où celle-ci revenait morte, les reins cassés, les paupières bleues.

Pierre kept the purse-strings well tied; he would not hear of any embellishments. The old furniture, faded, worn, damaged though it was, had to suffice, without even being repaired.
Pierre tint serrés les cordons de sa bourse; il ne voulut pas entendre parler d’embellissements; l’ancien mobilier, fané, usé, éclopé, dut servir sans être seulement réparé.
