The women were delirious; Maheude, losing her calmness, was seized with the vertigo of hunger, the Levaque woman shouted, old Brulé, carried out of herself, was brandishing her witch-like arms, Philoméne was shaken by a spasm of coughing, and Mouquette was so excited that she cried out words of tenderness to the orator.
Les femmes déliraient, la Maheude sortie de son calme, prise du vertige de la faim, la Levaque hurlante, la vieille Brulé hors d'elle, agitant des bras de sorciere, et Philomene secouée d'un acces de toux, et la Mouquette si allumée, qu'elle criait des mots tendres a l'orateur.
