|Brother Gorenflot was thirty-eight years old, and five feet high, by standard measure. His stature, a little scanty perhaps, was made up for, as he was in the habit of stating himself, by the admirable harmony of the proportions ; for what he lost in height he gained in breadth, measuring nearly three feet in diameter from shoulder to shoulder, which, as every one should know, is equivalent to nine feet in circumference. | |Brother Gorenflot was thirty-eight years old, and five feet high, by standard measure.

|Au centre de ces omoplates herculéennes s'emmanchait un large cou sillonné de muscles gros comme le pouce et saillants comme des cordes. Malheureusement le cou, lui aussi, se trouvait en proportion avec le reste, c'est-à-dire qu'il était gros et court, ce qui, aux premières émotions un peu fortes qu'éprouverait frère Gorenflot, rendrait l'apoplexie imminente. Mais, ayant la conscience de cette défectuosité et du danger qu'elle lui faisait courir, frère Gorenflot ne s'impressionnait jamais; il était même, nous devons le dire, fort rare de le voir affecté aussi visiblement qu'il l'était à l'heure où Chicot entra dans le cabinet. | |Au centre de ces omoplates herculéennes s'emmanchait un large cou sillonné de muscles gros comme le pouce et saillants comme des cordes.

|From the centre of these herculean shoulders rose a thick neck intersected by muscles as big as your thumb and standing out like cords. Unfortunately, the neck harmonized with the other proportions, by which we mean that it was very bulky and very short, and it was to be feared that any great emotion would result in apoplexy for Brother Gorenflot. But, being perfectly conscious of this defect and of the danger to which it exposed him, brother Gorenflot never allowed any strong emotion to get the better of him ; it was, in fact, very seldom — we are bound to make this statement — that he was as visibly thrown off his balance to such an extent as he was at the moment when Chicot entered his room. | |From the centre of these herculean shoulders rose a thick neck intersected by muscles as big as your thumb and standing out like cords.
