She suffered too much by living thus in idleness, feeling continual looks of reproach weighing on her; she would rather run the risk of being knocked about down there by Chaval. And if her mother refused to take her money when she brought it, well! she was big enough to act for herself and make her own soup.
Elle souffrait trop de vivre ainsi, oisive, en sentant peser sur elle de continuels regards de reproche; elle aimait mieux courir le risque d'etre bousculée la-bas par Chaval; et, si sa mere refusait son argent, quand elle le lui apporterait, eh bien! elle était assez grande pour se mettre a part et faire elle-meme sa soupe.
