Among the men, Maheu was won over and shouted with anger, between Pierron who was trembling and Levaque who was talking too much; while the chaffers, Zacharie and Mouquet, though trying to make fun of things, were feeling uncomfortable and were surprised that their mate could talk on so long without having a drink.
Parmi les hommes, Maheu conquis avait eu un cri de colere, entre Pierron tremblant et Levaque qui parlait trop; tandis que les blagueurs, Zacharie et Mouquet, essayaient de ricaner, mal a l'aise, étonnés que le camarade en put dire si long, sans boire un coup.
