Geindre and gémir . The first of these two words is the counterfeit, the carricatura and, as it were, the Paillasse of the other.

in [ illegible ]) What a goal! what a prospect! what a hope! what an ambition! And yet, if this bold ambition is not only permitted, but if it is even a duty? as they say: “to be praised by God himself!” Oh!

T233. The restricted until, past intention, every, indeed, repeated what and alone remain. The last come into the light freshly renders italic in lucem prodit ; English adjusts the finite Latin to the infinitive required after makes it. The light image is intentionally repeated, and no external Latin source is supplied. The collated French reads scait with plain dotted i , not a certified circumflex. The Latin terminal period is italic; its English counterpart come into the light. is likewise italic, while the preceding makes it is roman.
T441. The complete 5 and historical scait with a single dot-like i mark remain; the separate higher reproduction trace does not certify a circumflex. Vouloit , past intention and restrictive ne…que remain. In the French source, the Latin is italic through its terminal period, while que immediately before it is roman; no outside Latin source is assigned.
T234. Always, the two repeated indulgent terms and parallel declarations remain. Terrible keeps the sense of inspiring terror, not merely being poor or inept. French retains unhyphenated nous même with singular-form même , and the historical spelling indulgens ; English ourselves is the ordinary plural reflexive equivalent.
T235. The infinitive opening and unspecified feminine plural toutes remain without identifying its objects. The repeated terms, rather and opposed directions remain.
T443. The infinitive opening retains the unassigned feminine plural toutes . Repeated nouns, fort , plutôt and two directions remain; no referent is supplied.
T236. The negative interrogative opening, repeated also and both adjective pairs remain. English uses a dash to make the mid-sentence correction vous voulez dire readable; the source ends with a period, which is retained rather than supplied with a closing question mark.
T237. The metalinguistic French verbs remain because their distinction is the subject: geindre suggests whining or groaning, while gémir can signify moaning or lamenting. Carricatura retains the marked form, and Paillasse the named clown image, rather than translating it as a straw mattress. The opening verbs and carricatura correspond to source italics; no italic is added to Paillasse . The collated foreign form has two r letters, carricatura , rather than normalized caricatura . Geindre and gémir . are separately italic, with and roman; the period after gémir is included in its italic span.
T238. The infinitive and concrete end image remain, including the unrestricted concession. The connection is not paraphrased into a particular devotion.
T239. The parenthetic restriction, repeated it and even remain. English uses a semicolon between the two complete final clauses; no community or book is identified. The French has a comma where English uses the semicolon, and retains historical jusques with its final s .
T447. In the French source, the parenthetic topic, nominal opening, repeated ils/la , two imperfects and comma between finite clauses remain. Jansénistes is capitalized and jusques retains final s .
T240. The invocation, interrupted punctuation, opening And and repeated nothingness remain. The unusual of virtues is not silently normalized into a separate statement about lack of virtue. The opening O is plain in the French, without a circumflex. Its following exclamation and three printed points are retained as punctuation, not loss brackets.
T241. Both demonstratives, all and the unfinished comparison remain. Lanterns renders falots as lighting devices in this context. The complete 1798 noun entry describes a large lantern and a courtyard lighting vessel; its separate adjective entry gives ridiculous, amusing or odd senses.
T242. The two freshly translated quotations, four exclamations, repeated if, not-only/but-even and unanswered question remain. [Illegible] corresponds to the source editor’s [illisible] inside the parenthetic citation, not to a new loss reconstruction. The unspecified they and final Oh stay in the same paragraph. English moves the comma inside the first closing quotation. French retains plain initial Etre but later être , and unhyphenated first lui même but hyphenated later lui-même . Only illisible , and English illegible, are italic; in , the parentheses and both square brackets remain roman. No unreadable citation is expanded.
T450. The initial Etre has a plain capital E ; later être retains its circumflex. The first lui même lacks a hyphen, whereas the second lui-même has one. In the French source, the comma follows the first closing guillemet; in and the brackets are roman, while only illisible is italic. The printed [illisible] is the source editor’s marking, not a new transcription gap. Four exclamatory nouns, repeated si , non seulement/mais si même , lowercase comme after the question and final Oh! remain within one paragraph. No author or unreadable citation is guessed. The source specialist’s facsimile collation records the 886 complete dates, literal spellings, five exact italic spans, printed bracket origin, quotation/punctuation limits and complete margins, with all stated individual reading qualifications retained.
T243. The parenthetic uncertainty about who spoke, veining and self-misrecognition remain. The unspecified it and damaged date are not identified or completed. The collated date […]1 décembre. certifies only terminal 1, not the preceding numeral. Said is a neutral English reporting equivalent for both French imperfects, without asserting habitual speech. The comma before or inside the parenthesis is supplied English punctuation.
T451. Only the final 1 of the day is complete. The preceding right-hand curved fragments and detached foot do not certify a whole 2 or another numeral; no complete day is inferred. The reporting imperfects and alternative speaker remain. The first m of marbre is abraded but identifiable in color; no extra letter or word is supplied.
T244. All eight qualities, repeated he is and the source’s paired semicolon groupings remain.
