Guileless, innocent, and without distrust, equally by nature and from her mode of life, providence had, nevertheless shielded her from harm, by a halo of moral light, as it is said 'to temper the wind to the shorn lamb.'
La nature et sa manière de vivre avaient fait d’elle une créature innocente, sans détours et sans méfiance, et la Providence l’avait entourée dune auréole de lumière morale, pour écarter d’elle jusqu’à l’apparence du mal.

By degrees he became more bitter, he was tired of mocking at her; and at the end of a month he quite lost his temper.
Peu à peu, il devint plus amer, il n'eut plus le coeur à se moquer. Puis, au bout d'un mois, il se fâcha.

"I've seen many a desperate fight, and several of these sudden outbreaks of savage temper; but never before did I see a human soul quit the body more unexpectedly, or at a worse moment for the hopes of the dying man.
J’ai vu un grand nombre de combats acharnés et plusieurs de ces explosions soudaines d’une fureur sauvage, mais je n’avais jamais vu l’âme d’un homme quitter le corps si à l’improviste, ou dans un moment plus fâcheux pour les espérances du mourant.

The air of the river has a demoralising effect upon one's temper, and this it is, I suppose, which causes even barge men to be sometimes rude to one another, and to use language which, no doubt, in their calmer moments they regret.
L’air du fleuve a sur le caractère un effet démoralisant. C’est là, je suppose, la cause de cette acrimonie entre bateliers, et sans doute regrettent-ils, après coup, les propos hargneux qu’ils se sont lancés les uns les autres.

What had seemed the day before the dingiest of cities now took on a strange beauty, the beauty of unexpected horizons and tongues of grey water winding below cypress-studded shores. A man's temper has a lot to do with his appreciation of scenery.
Cette ville qui, la veille, m’avait paru si sordide, se para d’une beauté étrange; la beauté d’horizons imprévus et de lagunes d’eau grise serpentant sous des rives parsemées de cyprès dépend beaucoup de l’humeur d’appréciation d’un paysage.

They beat her for a drop of spilt water, saying that bad temper must be punished; and they struck her so readily and spitefully, that it was easy to perceive the chastisement was undeserved.
Ils la battaient pour une goutte d’eau versée, disant qu’il fallait corriger les mauvais caractères ; et ils frappaient avec tant de hâte et de rancune qu’on voyait aisément que ce n’était pas là une juste correction.
