Translations for cotton in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
The host had the appearance of as honest a man as any on earth. He received the travelers with his candlestick in one hand and his cotton nightcap in the other. He wished to lodge the two travelers each in a charming chamber; but unfortunately these charming chambers were at the opposite extremities of the hotel. d'Artagnan and Athos refused them. The host replied that he had no other worthy of their Excellencies; but the travelers declared they would sleep in the common chamber, each on a mattress which might be thrown upon the ground. The host insisted; but the travelers were firm, and he was obliged to do as they wished. | L’hôtelier avait l’air du plus honnête homme de la terre, il reçut les voyageurs son bougeoir d’une main et son bonnet de coton de l’autre : il voulut loger les deux voyageurs chacun dans une charmante chambre ; malheureusement chacune de ces chambres était à l’extrémité de l’hôtel. D’Artagnan et Athos refusèrent ; l’hôte répondit qu’il n’y en avait cependant pas d’autres dignes de Leurs Excellences, mais les voyageurs déclarèrent qu’ils coucheraient dans la chambre commune, chacun sur un matelas qu’on leur jetterait à terre ; l’hôte insista, les voyageurs tinrent bon, il fallut faire ce qu’ils voulurent. |
