Hello dears,
Voici votre nouvelle traduction, une version cette fois. C'est un nouveau texte, mais
une auteure à laquelle vous êtes habitués.
De plus, une partie est dialoguée, donc facile à suivre et à comprendre !
Allez ! COURAGE !
Translate into French:
After lunch Harold usually joined Mrs Rice and her daughter for coffee.
He decided to make no change in his usual behaviour. This was the first
time he had seen Elsie since the night before. She was very pale and was
obviously still suffering from shock, but she made a gallant endeavour to
behave as usual, uttering small commonplaces about the weather and the
scenery.
They commented on a new guest who had just arrived, trying to guess his
nationality. Harold thought a moustache like this must be French – Elsie
said German- and Mrs Rice thought he might be Spanish.
There was no one else but themselves on the terrace with the exception
of the two Polish ladies who were sitting at the extreme end, both doing
fancy-work.
As always when he saw them, Harold felt a queer shiver of apprehension
pass over him. Those still faces, those curved beaks of noses, those long
claw-like hands…
A page-boy approached and told Mrs Rice she was wanted. She rose and
followed him. At the entrance to the hotel they saw her encounter a police
official in full uniform.
Elsie caught her breath.
«You don’t think- anything’s gone wrong?»
Harold reassured her quickly.
«Oh no, no, nothing of that kind. »
But he himself knew a sudden pang of fear.
He said : «Your mother’s been wonderful!»

Hello!
EN COURS
Après le déjeuner, Harold se joignait à Mme Rice et à sa fille pour le café. Il décida de ne rien changer à sa routine.
C'était la première fois qu'il voyait Elsie depuis la nuit précédente. Elle était encore très pâle et visiblement sous le choc, mais elle tenta vaillamment de se comporter comme à son habitude. Ils firent des commentaires sur un nouveau client qui venait d'arriver, essayant de deviner sa nationalité. Harold pensait qu'une moustache pareille devait être française, allemande disait Elsie, alors que Mme Rice tenait qu'il pouvait être Espagnol.
Il n'y avait personne d'autre sur la terrasse, à l'exception des deux dames polonaises à l'extrémité qui faisaient marcher leur imagination.
Comme à chaque fois qu’il les voyait, Harold était saisi d’un étrange frisson d’appréhension. Ces visages fixés, ces nez busqués, ces mains à l’allure de griffes.
Un garçon s’approcha, disant à Mme Rice qu’on la demandait.
Elle se leva et le suivit.
