amble

Jean amble joyeusement vers la maison

Jean ambles happily toward the house

Au premier moment, tous deux furent violemment jetés à terre, mais, se relevant aussitôt, se cramponnant l'un à l'autre, et courbés comme de vieux bonshommes, ils prirent un pas accéléré, moitié trot, moitié amble.

At the first step, both were flung violently to the ground, but they managed to scramble up, and clinging to each other with their backs bent like two old crippled peasants, they struck into a kind of ambling trot.
