" What is the decoration that distinguish ? "
. . .
This singular look flattered those who were little wit, but worried the others.
They dreaded the explosion of some thorny word and difficult answer.
- A high birth gives a hundred qualities whose absence would offend me :
I see it by the example of Julien, thought Mathilde ;
but it withers these qualities of the soul that condemn to death.
At this moment, near her someone was saying :
- This Count Altamira is the second son of Prince of San Nazaro-Pimentel ;
it is a Pimentel who tried to save Conradin, decapitated in 1268.
It is one of the most noble families of Naples.
- That, said Mathilde to herself, demonstrates nicely my maxim :
High birth takes away the strength of character without which you are not condemned to death !
Therefore I am predestined tonight to be unreasonable.
Since I am only a woman like another, well ! you must danse.
