Translations for protest in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

There was a murmur of protest. Captain Jeanniot took out his watch:	Il y eut des gestes de protestation. Le capitaine Janniot tira sa montre.
The Confessions of Arsene Lupin, by Maurice Leblanc	Les Confidences d’Arsène Lupin, de Maurice Leblanc

Angélique was tall and thin like her father, skinny and angular like him. She was thirty-three years of age, always dressed in black stuff, shy and retiring in manner, with a head too small in proportion to her height and narrowed on either side until the nose seemed to jut forth in protest against such parsimony. And yet it would be impossible to say that she was ugly, for her eyes were extremely beautiful, soft and grave, proud and a little sad: pathetic eyes which to see once was to remember.

Angélique était longue et maigre comme son père, osseuse et sèche comme lui. Âgée de trente-trois ans, toujours vêtue de laine noire, timide, effacée, elle avait une tête trop petite, comprimée à droite et à gauche, et d’où le nez jaillissait comme une protestation contre une pareille exiguïté. Pourtant, on ne pouvait dire qu’elle fût laide, tellement ses yeux étaient beaux, tendres et graves, d’une fierté un peu triste, de ces yeux troublants qu’on n’oublie pas quand on les a vus.

Les Confidences d’Arsène Lupin, de Maurice Leblanc

I tried one or two explanations, but, indeed, I was completely puzzled myself. Our friend’s title, his fortune, his age, his character, and his appearance are all in his favour, and I know nothing against him, unless it be this dark fate which runs in his family. That his advances should be rejected so brusquely without any reference to the lady’s own wishes, and that the lady should accept the situation without protest, is very amazing. However, our conjectures were set at rest by a visit from Stapleton himself that very afternoon. He had come to offer apologies for his rudeness of the morning, and after a long private interview with Sir Henry in his study the upshot of their conversation was that the breach is quite healed, and that we are to dine at Merripit House next Friday as a sign of it.

« Je risquai une ou deux explications ; mais j’étais en réalité tout aussi troublé que sir Henry. « Le titre de notre ami, sa fortune, son âge, ses manières, son physique, tout militait en sa faveur. On ne pouvait rien lui reprocher — rien que le fatal destin qui s’acharnait sur sa famille. « Pourquoi repousser brusquement ses avances, sans même prendre l’avis de la personne qui en était l’objet ? Et pourquoi miss Stapleton avait-elle obéi à son frère, sans protester autrement que par son effarement ? « Dans l’après-midi, une visite du naturaliste fit cesser nos conjectures. Il venait s’excuser de sa conduite grossière. « Après un long entretien avec sir Henry, dans le cabinet de ce dernier, tout malentendu fut dissipé, et l’on convint que, pour fêter cette réconciliation, nous irions dîner le vendredi suivant à Merripit house.
