Ce délai accordé par le mandataire de la maison Thomson et French, au moment où Morrel s’y attendait le moins, parut au pauvre armateur un de ces retours de bonheur qui annoncent à l’homme que le sort s’est enfin lassé de s’acharner sur lui. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||auf ihn einzuschlagen|| |delay|granted|by||agent||||||||||||was waiting||least||||shipowner||||returns||happiness|||||||fate|||grown weary||persist||him This delay, granted by the agent of Thomson and French, at the moment when Morrel least expected it, appeared to the poor shipowner one of those returns of happiness which announce to the man that fate has at last grown weary of hard on him. Le même jour, il raconta ce qui lui était arrivé à sa fille, à sa femme et à Emmanuel, et un peu d’espérance, sinon de tranquillité, rentra dans la famille. The||day|he|told|||her|was||to|his||to|its||and|||and|||of hope||of|tranquility|returned|||family The same day he told what had happened to his daughter, his wife, and Emmanuel, and a little hope, if not tranquility, returned to the family. Mais malheureusement, Morrel n’avait pas seulement affaire à la maison Thomson et French, qui s’était montrée envers lui de si bonne composition. |||had||||||||||||shown|towards|||||composition But, unfortunately, Morrel was not only dealing with Thomson and French, who had shown him such a good composition. Comme il l’avait dit, dans le commerce on a des correspondants et pas d’amis. As he had said, in the trade we have correspondents and no friends. Lorsqu’il songeait profondément, il ne comprenait même pas cette conduite généreuse de MM. When he|was thinking||||||||||| When he thought deeply, he did not even understand the generous conduct of MM. Thomson et French envers lui; il ne se l’expliquait que par cette réflexion intelligemment égoïste que cette maison aurait faite: Mieux vaut soutenir un homme qui nous doit près de trois cent mille francs, et avoir ces trois cent mille francs au bout de trois mois, que de hâter sa ruine et avoir six ou huit pour cent du capital. |||toward|||||explained||by||reflection|intelligently|selfish||||would|||is worth|support|||||must|close|||||||have|||||||end||||||hasten||||have|||||||capital Thomson and French towards him; he could only explain himself by this intelligently selfish reflection that this house would have made: Better to support a man who owes us nearly three hundred thousand francs, and to have these three hundred thousand francs at the end of three months, than to hasten his ruin and have six or eight percent of the capital.

Malheureusement, soit haine, soit aveuglement, tous les correspondants de Morrel ne firent pas la même réflexion, et quelques-uns même firent la réflexion contraire. ||Hass||Blindheit||||||||||||||||||| Unfortunately||||blindness|||||||did|||||||||did||| sfortunatamente|||||||||||fecero|||||||||||| Unfortunately, whether hatred or blindness, not all of Morrel's correspondents thought the same thing, and some even thought otherwise. Les traites souscrites par Morrel furent donc présentées à la caisse avec une scrupuleuse rigueur, et, grâce au délai accordé par l’Anglais, furent payées par Coclès à bureau ouvert. |bills|subscribed|||were||presented|||cash||||||thanks||delay|granted|||were|paid||||office| |||||furono||||||||||||||||||||||| The bills subscribed by Morrel were therefore presented to the fund with scrupulous rigor, and, thanks to the delay granted by the Englishman, were paid by Cocles at an open office. Coclès continua donc de demeurer dans sa tranquillité fatidique. ||||remain||||fatidic Cocles continued to remain in her fateful tranquility. M. Morrel seul vit avec terreur que s’il avait eu à rembourser, le 15 les cinquante mille francs de de Boville, et, le 30, les trente-deux mille cinq cents francs de traites pour lesquelles, ainsi que pour la créance de l’inspecteur des prisons, il avait un délai, il était dès ce mois-là un homme perdu. ||alone|lived||||||I|||||||||||||||||||||bills|||||||debt||||||||deadline|||from|||||| M. Morrel alone saw with terror that if he had had to repay, on the 15th, the fifty thousand francs of Boville, and, on the 30th, the thirty-two thousand five hundred francs of bills for which, as well as for the debt of the inspector of prisons, he had a delay, he was a lost man that month.

L’opinion de tout le commerce de Marseille était que, sous les revers successifs qui l’accablaient, Morrel ne pouvait tenir. |||||||||||revers|||overwhelmed it|||could|hold The opinion of all the commerce of Marseilles was that, under the successive setbacks which overwhelmed it, Morrel could not hold. L’étonnement fut donc grand lorsqu’on vit sa fin de mois remplie avec son exactitude ordinaire. The astonishment|was|therefore||when one|saw|||||filled|||| The astonishment was therefore great when one saw his end of the month filled with his ordinary accuracy. Cependant, la confiance ne rentra point pour cela dans les esprits, et l’on remit d’une voix unanime à la fin du mois prochain la déposition du bilan du malheureux armateur. ||trust||entered|||||||||remitted|||unanimous||||||||deposition|of the|balance|of the|unfortunate|shipowner However, confidence did not return to this, and a unanimous vote was handed down at the end of next month to the deposition of the unfortunate shipowner.

Tout le mois se passa dans des efforts inouïs de la part de Morrel pour réunir toutes ses ressources. ||||||||ungeheuren|||||||||| All||month|passed|passed|in||efforts|incredible|of||part|||to|reunite|||resources The whole month passed in unprecedented efforts on the part of Morrel to gather all his resources. Autrefois son papier, à quelque date que ce fût, était pris avec confiance, et même demandé. Once|its||at|some|date||this|was|was|taken|with|trust|and||requested un tempo||||||||||||||| Formerly his paper, at any time, was taken with confidence, and even asked. Morrel essaya de négocier du papier à quatre-vingt-dix jours, et trouva les banques fermées. Morrel|tried|to|negotiate|of|paper||four|eighty|ninety|days||found|the||closed Morrel tried to negotiate paper at ninety days, and found the banks closed. Heureusement, Morrel avait lui-même quelques rentrées sur lesquelles il pouvait compter; ces rentrées s’opérèrent: Morrel se trouva donc encore en mesure de faire face à ses engagements lorsque arriva la fin de juillet. ||||||Einnahmen||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Fortunately||had||||incomes||which|it||||incomes|operated|Morrel|found|found|therefore|still|||of||face||his|commitments|when|arrived|the||of|July Fortunately, Morrel himself had some income on which he could count; These returns were made: Morrel found himself still in a position to meet his engagements when the end of July arrived.

Au reste, on n’avait pas revu à Marseille le mandataire de la maison Thomson et French; le lendemain ou le surlendemain de sa visite à M. Morrel il avait disparu: or, comme il n’avait eu à Marseille de relations qu’avec le maire, l’inspecteur des prisons et M. Morrel, son passage n’avait laissé d’autre trace que le souvenir différent qu’avaient gardé de lui ces trois personnes. |||||seen||||agent|||||||||||the day after||||||||||||||had|||||only with||mayor|||||||||||||||memory|||kept||||| For the rest, the agent of Thomson and French had not been seen in Marseilles; the day after, or the day after, his visit to M. Morrel he had disappeared; and as he had had no relations in Marseilles with the mayor, the inspector of prisons, and M. Morrel, his passage had left no other trace than the different memory that these three persons had kept of him. Quant aux matelots du  Pharaon , il paraît qu’ils avaient trouvé quelque engagement, car ils avaient disparu aussi. Regarding||sailors||||seems|||||||||| ||marinai||||||||||||||anche As for the sailors of Pharaoh, it seems that they had found some commitment, because they had disappeared too.

Le capitaine Gaumard, remis de l’indisposition qui l’avait retenu à Palma, revint à son tour. |||recovered||the indisposition|||retained|||returned||| Captain Gaumard, recovered from the indisposition which had kept him at Palma, returned in his turn. Il hésitait à se présenter chez M. Morrel: mais celui-ci apprit son arrivée, et l’alla trouver lui-même. |||||at||||||learned||||went||| He hesitated to present himself at M. Morrel's, but he learned of his arrival, and went to find him himself. Le digne armateur savait d’avance, par le récit de Penelon, la conduite courageuse qu’avait tenue le capitaine pendant tout ce sinistre, et ce fut lui qui essaya de le consoler. ||shipowner||in advance|||story|||||courageous||conduct||||||sinister||||||||| The worthy shipowner knew in advance, by Penelon's account, of the courageous conduct of the captain during all this sinister, and it was he who tried to console him. Il lui apportait le montant de sa solde, que le capitaine Gaumard n’eût point osé aller toucher. |him|brought||amount|||salary|||||would not||dared|| He brought him the amount of his pay, which Captain Gaumard would not have dared to touch.

Comme il descendait l’escalier, M. Morrel rencontra Penelon qui le montait. As|||||||Penelon|||was going up As he was coming down the stairs, M. Morrel met Penelon, who was coming upstairs. Penelon avait, à ce qu’il paraissait, fait bon emploi de son argent, car il était tout vêtu de neuf. ||||||||||||||||dressed||new ||||||||uso|||||||||| Penelon had, as it seemed, made good use of his money, for he was all dressed in nine. En apercevant son armateur, le digne timonier parut fort embarrassé; il se rangea dans l’angle le plus éloigné du palier, passa alternativement sa chique de gauche à droite et de droite à gauche, en roulant de gros yeux effarés, et ne répondit que par une pression timide à la poignée de main que lui offrit avec sa cordialité ordinaire M. Morrel. ||||||le timonier||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||effrayés|||||||pression||||poignée de main||||||||||| |||shipowner|the|worthy|helmsman|||embarrassed|||moved||the corner|||distant||platform||||chew|||||||||left||rolling||||startled|||||||||||handle|||||offered|||||| ||||||Steuermann||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||erschrockene Augen|||||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||piano||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||maniglia||||||||||| On perceiving his shipowner, the worthy helmsman seemed greatly embarrassed; he ranged himself in the farthest angle of the landing, passed alternatively his quid from left to right and from right to left, rolling with frightened eyes, and answered only by a timid pressure on the handshake offered him with his usual cordiality Mr. Morrel. M. Morrel attribua l’embarras de Penelon à l’élégance de sa toilette: il était évident que le brave homme n’avait pas donné à son compte dans un pareil luxe; il était donc déjà engagé sans doute à bord de quelque autre bâtiment, et sa honte lui venait de ce qu’il n’avait pas, si l’on peut s’exprimer ainsi, porté plus longtemps le deuil du  Pharaon . ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Trauer um|| ||attributes|the embarrassment|||||||toilet|||||||||||||account|||such||||||engaged||||||||building|||shame||came|||||||||express himself||||long||mourning|| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||simile|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| M. Morrel attributed the embarrassment of Penelon to the elegance of his dress. It was evident that the good man had not given his account in such luxury; He was, therefore, already engaged, no doubt, on board some other vessel, and his shame came from what he had not, if one may so express himself, carried on longer the mourning of Pharaoh. Peut-être même venait-il pour faire part au capitaine Gaumard de sa bonne fortune et pour lui faire part des offres de son nouveau maître. |be||was coming||||||||||||||||||offers|||| Perhaps he even came to tell Captain Gaumard of his good fortune and to inform him of the offers of his new master.

«Braves gens, dit Morrel en s’éloignant, puisse votre nouveau maître vous aimer comme je vous aimais, et être plus heureux que je ne le suis!» |||||sich entfernend||||||||||||||||||| |||||departing|may|||||love||||loved||||||||| "Good people," said Morrel, moving away, "may your new master love you as I loved you, and be happier than I am!"

Août s’écoula dans des tentatives sans cesse renouvelées par Morrel de relever son ancien crédit ou de s’en ouvrir un nouveau. August|passed||||||renewed||||reestablish|its|||||open one||| August passed in attempts constantly renewed by Morrel to raise his old credit or to open a new one. Le 20 août, on sut à Marseille qu’il avait pris une place à la malle-poste, et l’on se dit alors que c’était pour la fin du mois courant que le bilan devait être déposé, et que Morrel était parti d’avance pour ne pas assister à cet acte cruel, délégué sans doute à son premier commis Emmanuel et à son caissier Coclès. |||||||||||||poste|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||Coclès |August||knew||||||||||mail|post|||||||||||||current|||report|||||||||||||attend||||cruel|delegated||||||committed|||||cashier| |||||||||||||Postkutsche||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| On the 20th of August, it was known in Marseilles that he had taken a place at the post-office, and it is then said that it was for the end of the current month that the balance sheet was to be deposited, and that Morrel had left in advance not to be present at this cruel act, delegated, no doubt, to his first clerk Emmanuel and his cashier Cocles. Mais, contre toutes les prévisions lorsque le 31 août arriva, la caisse s’ouvrit comme d’habitude. ||||predictions|when|the|August|arrived||cash||| But, against all forecasts when August 31 arrived, the cashier opened as usual. Coclès apparut derrière le grillage, calme comme le juste d’Horace, examina avec la même attention le papier qu’on lui présentait, et, depuis la première jusqu’à la dernière, paya les traites avec la même exactitude. ||behind||fencing|||||||||||||||||since|||up to||||||||| Cocles appeared behind the grating, calm as Horace's fair, examined with the same attention the paper presented to him, and from the first to the last paid the bills with the same exactness. Il vint même deux remboursements qu’avait prévus M. Morrel, et que Coclès paya avec la même ponctualité que les traites qui étaient personnelles à l’armateur. |came|||refunds|that had|planned|||||||||||||bills||were|personal||the shipowner There were even two refunds which M. Morrel had foreseen, and which Cocles paid with the same punctuality as the drafts which were personal to the shipowner. On n’y comprenait plus rien, et l’on remettait, avec la ténacité particulière aux prophètes de mauvaises nouvelles, la faillite à la fin de septembre. |||||||was putting|||tenacity|||||bad|news|the|bankruptcy|in||end|of| There was nothing more to be understood, and, with the particular tenacity of the prophets of bad news, bankruptcy was postponed until the end of September.

Le 1er, Morrel arriva: il était attendu par toute sa famille avec une grande anxiété; de ce voyage à Paris devait surgir sa dernière voie de salut. |was||arrives|||expected|by||||||||||||Paris||emerge||last|way||salvation On the 1st, Morrel arrived: he was expected by all his family with great anxiety; from this trip to Paris was to emerge his last way of salvation. Morrel avait pensé à Danglars, aujourd’hui millionnaire et autrefois son obligé, puisque c’était à la recommandation de Morrel que Danglars était entré au service du banquier espagnol chez lequel avait commencé son immense fortune. ||||||||once||obliged|since|it was|||||||||||||||with|||||| Morrel had thought of Danglars, now a millionaire and formerly his obligator, since it was at the recommendation of Morrel that Danglars had entered the service of the Spanish banker, at whom his immense fortune had begun. Aujourd’hui Danglars, disait-on, avait six ou huit millions à lui, un crédit illimité. |||||||||||||unlimited Today Danglars, it was said, had six or eight millions to himself, unlimited credit. Danglars, sans tirer un écu de sa poche, pouvait sauver Morrel: il n’avait qu’à garantir un emprunt, et Morrel était sauvé. ||||Taler||||||||||||Darlehen|||| ||||crown||||||||||||loan||||saved Danglars, without drawing a shield from his pocket, could save Morrel; he had only to secure a loan, and Morrel was saved. Morrel avait depuis longtemps pensé à Danglars; mais il y a de ces répulsions instinctives dont on n’est pas maître, et Morrel avait tardé autant qu’il lui avait été possible de recourir à ce suprême moyen. |had||long||||||||||repulsions|instinctive|of which||||master||||delayed|as much|||||||resort||||means Morrel had long thought of Danglars; but there are instinctive repulsions of which one is not master, and Morrel was as late as he had been able to resort to this supreme means. Il avait eu raison, car il était revenu brisé sous l’humiliation d’un refus. ||||||||gebrochen|||| |||||||returned|broken|under|the humiliation||refusal He had been right, because he had returned broken under the humiliation of a refusal.

Aussi à son retour, Morrel n’avait-il exhalé aucune plainte, proféré aucune récrimination; il avait embrassé en pleurant sa femme et sa fille, avait tendu une main amicale à Emmanuel, s’était enfermé dans son cabinet du second, et avait demandé Coclès. |||||||exhaled||complaint|professed|none|recrimination|||embraced||crying|||||||reached||main|||||locked|||cabinet|||||| On his return, Morrel had not vented any complaint, uttered any recrimination; he had embraced his wife and daughter in tears, had extended a friendly hand to Emmanuel, had shut himself up in his room on the second floor, and had asked for Cocles.

«Pour cette fois, avaient dit les deux femmes à Emmanuel, nous sommes perdus.» ||||||||||||lost "For this time," said the two women to Emmanuel, "we are lost."

Puis, dans un court conciliabule tenu entre elles, il avait été convenu que Julie écrirait à son frère, en garnison à Nîmes, d’arriver à l’instant même. ||||conversation secrète||||||||||||||||||||| Then|||short|conciliabule|held|between|||||agreed|||would write|||brother||garrison||Nîmes|||| Then, in a short consultation held between them, it was agreed that Julie would write to her brother, in garrison at Nimes, to arrive at the moment.

Les pauvres femmes sentaient instinctivement qu’elles avaient besoin de toutes leurs forces pour soutenir le coup qui les menaçait. |||felt||||||||||support||blow|||threatened The poor women felt instinctively that they needed all their strength to sustain the blow that threatened them.

D’ailleurs, Maximilien Morrel, quoique âgé de vingt-deux ans à peine, avait déjà une grande influence sur son père. Besides|Maximilian||although|aged||||||barely|||||||| Moreover, Maximilian Morrel, though barely twenty-two years old, already had a great influence on his father.

C’était un jeune homme ferme et droit. It was||||firm||upright He was a firm, upright young man. Au moment où il s’était agi d’embrasser une carrière, son père n’avait point voulu lui imposer d’avance un avenir et avait consulté les goûts du jeune Maximilien. |||||acted|to embrace||career|||||wanted||impose|||future|||consulted||tastes||| At the moment when it was a question of embracing a career, his father had not wished to impose a future on him, and had consulted the tastes of the young Maximilian. Celui-ci avait alors déclaré qu’il voulait suivre la carrière militaire; il avait fait, en conséquence, d’excellentes études, était entré par le concours à l’École polytechnique, et en était sorti sous-lieutenant au 53ème de ligne. ||||||||||||||||||||||competition||the School|polytechnic||||||lieutenant||53rd|| He had then declared that he wanted to follow the military career; he had, as a result, made excellent studies, entered the competition at the École Polytechnique, and was second lieutenant at the 53rd rank of the line. Depuis un an, il occupait ce grade, et avait promesse d’être nommé lieutenant à la première occasion. ||a|||||||||||||| For a year he had held this rank, and had promised to be appointed lieutenant at the first opportunity. Dans le régiment, Maximilien Morrel était cité comme le rigide observateur, non seulement de toutes les obligations imposées au soldat, mais encore de tous les devoirs proposés à l’homme, et on ne l’appelait que le stoïcien. ||||||||||||||||obligations|||||||||duties|proposed||||||was called|||stoic In the regiment Maximilian Morrel was cited as the rigid observer, not only of all the obligations imposed upon the soldier, but also of all the duties offered to man, and he was only called the Stoic. Il va sans dire que beaucoup de ceux qui lui donnaient cette épithète la répétaient pour l’avoir entendue, et ne savaient pas même ce qu’elle voulait dire. ||||||||||||Beiwort|||||||||||||| |||||||||him|gave||epithet||repeated|||heard|||knew|||||| Needless to say, many of those who gave her this epithet repeated it for having heard it, and did not even know what she meant.

C’était ce jeune homme que sa mère et sa sœur appelaient à leur aide pour les soutenir dans la circonstance grave où elles sentaient qu’elles allaient se trouver. ||||||mother|||sister|called||||||support|||||||felt|||| It was this young man whom his mother and sister called for their help to support them in the grave circumstances in which they felt they were going to find each other.

Elles ne s’étaient pas trompées sur la gravité de cette circonstance, car, un instant après que M. Morrel fut entré dans son cabinet avec Coclès, Julie en vit sortir ce dernier, pâle, tremblant, et le visage tout bouleversé. ||had||been mistaken|about|||||||||||||||||office|||||||||||||||overwhelmed They had not been mistaken as to the gravity of this circumstance, for a moment after Monsieur Morrel had entered his study with Cocles, Julie saw the latter come out, pale, trembling, and very much distressed.

Elle voulut l’interroger comme il passait près d’elle; mais le brave homme, continuant de descendre l’escalier avec une précipitation qui ne lui était pas habituelle, se contenta de s’écrier en levant les bras au ciel: |wanted||||was passing|near||||||||||||precipitation||||||||was content|||||||| She wished to interrogate him as he passed near her; but the good fellow, continuing to descend the stairs with a precipitation which was not usual to him, contented himself with crying, raising his arms to heaven.

«Ô mademoiselle! "O mademoiselle! mademoiselle! quel affreux malheur! |awful|misfortune what a terrible misfortune! et qui jamais aurait cru cela!» |||would|| and who would ever have believed that! "

Un instant après, Julie le vit remonter portant deux ou trois gros registres, un portefeuille et un sac d’argent. |||||||carrying|||||ledgers||wallet|||| A moment later, Julie saw him go up carrying two or three big registers, a wallet and a bag of money.

Morrel consulta les registres, ouvrit le portefeuille, compta l’argent. |consult||records||||| Morrel consulted the registers, opened the wallet, counted the money.

Toutes ses ressources montaient à six ou huit mille francs, ses rentrées jusqu’au 5 à quatre ou cinq mille; ce qui faisait, en cotant au plus haut, un actif de quatorze mille francs pour faire face à une traite de deux cent quatre-vingt-sept mille cinq cents francs. |||mounted||||||||incomes|until||||||||||counting|||||active|of||thousand|franc|to|make|face||an|draft|of|two|hundred|four|twenty||thousand|five||franc All his resources amounted to six or eight thousand francs, his receipts to five to four or five thousand; which made an asset of fourteen thousand francs, when quoted at the highest, to face a milking of two hundred and eighty-seven thousand five hundred francs. Il n’y avait pas même moyen d’offrir un pareil acompte. |||||||||Anzahlung leisten There||had||even|means|to offer||such|deposit There was not even a way to offer such a down payment.

Cependant, lorsque Morrel descendit pour dîner, il paraissait assez calme. However|when||descended|to||it||quite|calm However, when Morrel went down to dinner, he seemed quite calm. Ce calme effraya plus les deux femmes que n’aurait pu le faire le plus profond abattement. This|calm|frightened||||women|that|would|could|the|do|||deep|dejection This calm frightened the two women more than the deepest depression could have done.

Après le dîner, Morrel avait l’habitude de sortir; il allait prendre son café au cercle des Phocéens et lire le  Sémaphore : ce jour-là il ne sortit point et remonta dans son bureau. ||dinner||||||||||||||||||Semaphore|||||||||went back||| After dinner, Morrel used to go out; he was going to take his coffee to the circle of the Phocians and read the Semaphore; that day he did not go out and went back to his office.

Quant à Coclès, il paraissait complètement hébété. ||||||benommen Regarding||||||dazed As for Cocles, he seemed utterly dazed. Pendant une partie de la journée il s’était tenu dans la cour, assis sur une pierre, la tête nue, par un soleil de trente degrés. ||||||||held|||court|sitting|||stone|||bare|||||| For part of the day he had stood in the courtyard, sitting on a stone, bareheaded, by a thirty-degree sun.

Emmanuel essayait de rassurer les femmes, mais il était mal éloquent. |||beruhigen||||||| Emmanuel tried to reassure the women, but he did not speak well. Le jeune homme était trop au courant des affaires de la maison pour ne pas sentir qu’une grande catastrophe pesait sur la famille Morrel. ||||||current||business|||||||||||weighed|||| The young man was too familiar with the affairs of the house not to feel that a great catastrophe weighed on the Morrel family.

La nuit vint: les deux femmes avaient veillé, espérant qu’en descendant de son cabinet Morrel entrerait chez elles; mais elles l’entendirent passer devant leur porte, allégeant son pas dans la crainte sans doute d’être appelé. ||came|||||watched||||||cabinet||would enter|in||||heard it||in front|||lightening|||||fear||doubt||called la||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||paura|||| Night came: the two women had watched, hoping that by coming down from his Morrel closet they would go home; but they heard him pass in front of their door, lightening his pace in the fear, no doubt, of being called.

Elles prêtèrent l’oreille, il rentra dans sa chambre et ferma sa porte en dedans. |listened|the ear|he|went||its|room|and|closed|its|door|in|inside They listened, he went back to his room and closed his door inside.

Mme Morrel envoya coucher sa fille; puis, une demi-heure après que Julie se fut retirée, elle se leva, ôta ses souliers et se glissa dans le corridor, pour voir par la serrure ce que faisait son mari.

Dans le corridor, elle aperçut une ombre qui se retirait: c’était Julie, qui, inquiète elle-même, avait précédé sa mère.

Le lendemain, M. Morrel paraissait tout à fait calme; il se tint dans son bureau comme à l’ordinaire, descendit pour déjeuner comme d’habitude, seulement après son dîner il fit asseoir sa fille près de lui, prit la tête de l’enfant dans ses bras et la tint longtemps contre sa poitrine. |||||||||||held||||||the usual|||||||||||fit|seat|||near|||took|||||||||||a long time|||chest |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||petto The next day M. Morrel appeared quite calm; he stood in his office as usual, went down to lunch as usual, only after his dinner he made his daughter sit near him, took the child's head in his arms and held it for a long time against his chest .

Le soir, Julie dit à sa mère que, quoique calme en apparence, elle avait remarqué que le cœur de son père battait violemment. ||||||||although|||||||||||||was beating| In the evening, Julie told her mother that, although apparently calm, she had noticed that her father's heart was beating violently.

Julie tressaillit à cette demande, qui lui sembla sinistre. Julie shuddered at this request, which seemed sinister to her.

"

Coclès ne répondit point; il fit un signe de tête, alla s’asseoir dans l’antichambre et attendit. ||responded|didn't||fit||||||sit down|||| Cocles did not answer; he nodded, went to sit in the antechamber and waited.

Morrel retomba sur sa chaise; ses yeux se portèrent vers la pendule: il lui restait sept minutes, voilà tout; l’aiguille marchait avec une rapidité incroyable; il lui semblait qu’il la voyait aller. |fell|||chair||||went|||clock||||||||the needle|||||incredible||||||saw| Morrel fell back on his chair; his eyes went to the clock; he had seven minutes left, that was all; the needle walked with incredible rapidity; it seemed to him that he saw her go.

Ce qui se passa alors, et dans ce moment suprême dans l’esprit de cet homme qui, jeune encore, à la suite d’un raisonnement faux peut-être, mais spécieux du moins, allait se séparer de tout ce qu’il aimait au monde et quitter la vie, qui avait pour lui toutes les douceurs de la famille, est impossible à exprimer: il eût fallu voir, pour en prendre une idée, son front couvert de sueur, et cependant résigné, ses yeux mouillés de larmes, et cependant levés au ciel. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||trompeur mais séduisant||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||would||||||||||||||||||follow|||false||||specious||less|||||||||||||||||||||sweetness|||||||express||would have|had to|||||||||||||however||||wet||tears||however|raised|| What happened then, and in this supreme moment in the mind of this man who, still young, following a false reasoning perhaps, but specious at least, was going to separate from everything he liked in the world, and to leave life, which had all the comforts of the family for him, is impossible to express. It would have been necessary to see, to take an idea, his brow covered with sweat, and yet resigned, his eyes wet with tears, and yet lifted to heaven.

L’aiguille marchait toujours, les pistolets étaient tout chargés; il allongea la main, en prit un, et murmura le nom de sa fille. The needle|||||||loaded||reached||||took|||||||| The needle was still walking, the pistols were all loaded; he stretched out his hand, took one, and murmured the name of his daughter.

Puis il posa l’arme mortelle, prit la plume et écrivit quelques mots. ||placed|the weapon|dead|took|||||| Then he put down the deadly weapon, took the pen and wrote a few words.

Puis il se retourna vers la pendule; il ne comptait plus par minute mais par seconde. ||||||clock|||counted|||||| Then he turned to the clock; he no longer counted by minute but by second.

Il reprit l’arme, la bouche entrouverte et les yeux fixés sur l’aiguille; puis il tressaillit au bruit qu’il faisait lui-même en armant le chien. ||||||||||||||||||||||den Hahn spannend||Hahn ||the weapon|||partially open||||||the needle|||started||||||||arming||dog He took up the weapon, his mouth ajar and his eyes fixed on the needle; then he shuddered at the noise he made himself by arming the dog.

Il se retourna et aperçut Julie; le pistolet lui échappa des mains. |||||||||escaped|| He turned around and saw Julie; the pistol escaped his hands.

«Sauvé! Saved "Safe! mon enfant! my child! dit Morrel; que veux-tu dire? said Morrel; what do you mean?

—Oui, sauvé! |saved “Yes, saved! voyez, voyez!» dit la jeune fille. see, see! ” said the young girl.

Morrel prit la bourse et tressaillit, car un vague souvenir lui rappela cet objet pour lui avoir appartenu. |||||||||||||||||gehört hatte ihm |||purse||started|||vague|memory|||||||have|belonged Morrel took the purse and flinched, for a vague memory reminded him of this object for having belonged to him.

La traite était acquittée. |||Die Schuld beglichen. |deals||acquitted |tratta|| The draft was paid.

—Monsieur Morrel! “Monsieur Morrel! s’écria une voix dans l’escalier, Monsieur Morrel! cried a voice on the stairs, Monsieur Morrel!

—C’est sa voix», dit Julie. “It's his voice,” said Julie.

En même temps, Emmanuel entra, le visage bouleversé de joie et d’émotion. |||||||overwhelmed|||| At the same time, Emmanuel entered, his face upset with joy and emotion.

«Le  Pharaon ! “The Pharaoh! s’écria-t-il; le  Pharaon ! he cried; the Pharaoh!

êtes-vous fou, Emmanuel? are you crazy, Emmanuel? Vous savez bien qu’il est perdu. You know he is lost.

—Le  Pharaon ! “The Pharaoh! monsieur, on signale le  Pharaon ; le  Pharaon  entre dans le port.» ||signals|||||||| sir, we point out the Pharaoh; the Pharaoh enters the port. "

—Allons, mes enfants, dit Morrel en se soulevant, allons voir, et que Dieu ait pitié de nous, si c’est une fausse nouvelle.» Let's|||||||rising|||||||||||||false| "Come, my children," said Morrel, raising himself, "let us see, and may God have mercy on us, if it is false news."

Ils descendirent; au milieu de l’escalier attendait Mme Morrel: la pauvre femme n’avait pas osé monter. |descended|||||||||||||dared|go up They went down; in the middle of the staircase Madame Morrel was waiting: the poor woman had not dared to go upstairs.

En effet, chose merveilleuse, inouïe, en face de la tour Saint-Jean un bâtiment, portant sur sa poupe ces mots écrits en lettres blanches, le  Pharaon  (Morrel et fils de Marseille), absolument de la contenance de l’autre  Pharaon , et chargé comme l’autre de cochenille et d’indigo, jetait l’ancre et carguait ses voiles; sur le pont, le capitaine Gaumard donnait ses ordres, et maître Penelon faisait des signes à M.

Morrel.

Il n’y avait plus à en douter: le témoignage des sens était là, et dix mille personnes venaient en aide à ce témoignage. ||||||||testimony||senses||||||||||||testimony |||||||||||||||||venivano||||| There was no longer any doubt about it: the testimony of the senses was there, and ten thousand people came to the aid of this testimony.

Comme Morrel et son fils s’embrassaient sur la jetée, aux applaudissements de toute la ville témoin de ce prodige, un homme, dont le visage était à moitié couvert par une barbe noire, et qui, caché derrière la guérite d’un factionnaire, contemplait cette scène avec attendrissement, murmura ces mots: ||||||||Mole||||||||||Wunder|||||||||||||||||||Wachhäuschen|||||||||| |Morrel||||were embracing|||||applause|||||witness|||prodigy|||||||||||||||||||guardhouse|of a|faction|contemplated||||tenderness||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||cabane de garde||garde de faction|||||||| As Morrel and his son were kissing on the pier, to the applause of the whole city witness to this prodigy, a man, whose face was half covered by a black beard, and who, hidden behind the sentry's sentry box, contemplated this scene tenderly, murmured these words:

«Sois heureux, noble cœur; sois béni pour tout le bien que tu as fait et que tu feras encore; et que ma reconnaissance reste dans l’ombre comme ton bienfait.» |||||||||||||||||beasts|||||recognition|||the shadow|||benefit |felice||||||||||||||||||||||||||| "Be happy, noble heart; Blessed for all the good that you have done, and that you will do again; and let my gratitude remain in the shadows as your benefit. "

Et, avec un sourire où la joie et le bonheur se révélaient, il quitta l’abri où il était caché, et sans que personne fît attention à lui, tant chacun était préoccupé de l’événement du jour, il descendit un de ces petits escaliers qui servent de débarcadère et héla trois fois: |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||appela|| |||smile||||||||revealed|||the shelter||||||||||||||||preoccupied|||||||||||stairs||||landing||called|three|times And with a smile where joy and happiness were revealed, he left the shelter where he was hidden, and without anyone paying attention to him, as everyone was concerned about the event of the day, he went down one of these small stairs that serve as a landing stage and hailed three times:

«Jacopo! “Jacopo! Jacopo! Jacopo!»

Alors, une chaloupe vint à lui, le reçut à bord, et le conduisit à un yacht richement gréé, sur le pont duquel il s’élança avec la légèreté d’un marin; de là il regarda encore une fois Morrel qui, pleurant de joie, distribuait de cordiales poignées de main à toute cette foule, et remerciait d’un vague regard ce bienfaiteur inconnu qu’il semblait chercher au ciel. |||||||||||||||||gréé|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||boat|||||received|to|||||||yacht|richly equipped|rigged|||||||||lightness|||||||||||||||was distributing||cordial|handles||||||crowd||thanked|||||benefactor|||||| |||||||||||||||||ausgerüstet|||||||||Leichtigkeit||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Then a boat came to him, received him on board, and conducted him to a richly rigged yacht, on whose deck he darted with the levity of a sailor; From there he looked once more at Morrel, who, weeping for joy, was cordially shaking hands with all the crowd, and thanking with a vague look this unknown benefactor whom he seemed to seek in heaven.

«Et maintenant, dit l’homme inconnu, adieu bonté, humanité reconnaissance.... Adieu à tous les sentiments qui épanouissent le cœur!... And|now|||||goodness||recognition|||||||flourish|| |||||||||||||||fanno fiorire|| "And now," said the unknown man, "good-bye goodness, gratitude, gratitude.

À ces mots, il fit un signal, et, comme s’il n’eût attendu que ce signal pour partir, le yacht prit aussitôt la mer. ||||machte|||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||leave||||immediately|| ||||||||||||||||||||subito|| At these words he made a signal, and as if he had only waited for this signal to leave, the yacht immediately set sail.
