When her daughter was inside the cell, she laid her gently on the ground, then raised her up again, and bearing her in her arms as though she were still only her little Agnes, she walked to and fro in her little room,intoxicated, frantic, joyous, crying out, singing, kissing her daughter, talking to her, bursting into laughter, melting into tears, all at once and with vehemence.
Quand sa fille fut dans la cellule, elle la posa doucement à terre, puis la reprit, et la portant dans ses bras comme si ce n’était toujours que sa petite Agnès, elle allait et venait dans l’étroite loge, ivre, forcenée, joyeuse, criant, chantant, baisant sa fille, lui parlant, éclatant de rire, fondant en larmes, le tout à la fois et avec emportement.
