French term or phrase:les coques de son chapeau aussi fixes que des papillons
c'è un gran frastuono nella sala d'attesa di un medico, poi lentamente torna la calma.
La porte fermée, chacun retombait, - pas de la meme manière; la femme du notaire piquait son derrière sur sa chaise, les coques de son chapeau aussi fixes que des papillons de vitrine.
Non capisco cosa siano le "choques de son chapeau"
Explanation: Vedi questa frease.
♦ COIFFURE, COST. Ruban ou mèche de cheveux en forme de coque. Le plaid bariolé de tartan et la toque dissimulent la jupe et le béguin à coque (Gautier, Albertus,1833, p. 130).
