At the moment when she looked in, a profound pity was depicted on all her features, and her frank, gay visage altered its expression and color as abruptly as though it had passed from a ray of sunlight to a ray of moonlight; her eye became humid; her mouth contracted, like that of a person on the point of weeping.
Au moment où sa vue y pénétra, une profonde pitié se peignit sur tous ses traits, et sa gaie et franche physionomie changea aussi brusquement d’expression et de couleur que si elle eût passé d’un rayon de soleil à un rayon de lune. Son œil devint humide, sa bouche se contracta comme lorsqu’on va pleurer.
