Maman and Papa went to church, where Mme Patton came to speak to them with extreme amiability.
Maman et papa sont alles a l'eglise ou Mme Patton est venue leur parler avec une extreme amabilite.
Then Papa went to the Consul's.
Puis papa est alle chez le Consul.
The lawsuit victoriously concluded — that is to say, a ruling has been handed down stating that the inquiry has established that there were not even grounds for a trial.
Le proces victorieusement termine, c'est-a-dire que l'on a rendu une ordonnance disant que l'enquete a demontre qu'il n'y avait pas meme lieu a proces.
And naturally one goes to the Consul's to triumph a little — in short, this happy turn of events and the articles in the Figaro and elsewhere have produced a tremendous effect here.
Et naturellement on va chez le Consul pour triompher un peu, bref ce changement heureux et les articles du "Figaro" et autres ont produit ici un effet formidable.
