Translations for tailor in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
Mousqueton was a Norman, whose pacific name of Boniface his master had changed into the infinitely more sonorous name of Mousqueton. He had entered the service of Porthos upon condition that he should only be clothed and lodged, though in a handsome manner; but he claimed two hours a day to himself, consecrated to an employment which would provide for his other wants. Porthos agreed to the bargain; the thing suited him wonderfully well. He had doublets cut out of his old clothes and cast-off cloaks for Mousqueton, and thanks to a very intelligent tailor, who made his clothes look as good as new by turning them, and whose wife was suspected of wishing to make Porthos descend from his aristocratic habits, Mousqueton made a very good figure when attending on his master. | Mousqueton était un Normand dont son maître avait changé le nom pacifique de Boniface en celui infiniment plus sonore et plus belliqueux de Mousqueton. Il était entré au service de Porthos à la condition qu’il serait habillé et logé seulement, mais d’une façon magnifique ; il ne réclamait que deux heures par jour pour les consacrer à une industrie qui devait suffire à pourvoir à ses autres besoins. Porthos avait accepté le marché ; la chose lui allait à merveille. Il faisait tailler à Mousqueton des pourpoints dans ses vieux habits et dans ses manteaux de rechange, et, grâce à un tailleur fort intelligent qui lui remettait ses hardes à neuf en les retournant, et dont la femme était soupçonnée de faire descendre Porthos de ses habitudes aristocratiques, Mousqueton faisait à la suite de son maître fort bonne figure. |
