Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Le Piccinino, Vol. 2
A la bonne heure, repondit le marquis, c'est une noble ambition; tu voudrais etre la souche d'une race illustre dans les arts, et acquerir ta noblesse au lieu de la laisser perdre, comme font tant de pauvres sires in dignes d'un grand nom. Mais trouverais - tu mauvais d'a vance que tes descendants fussent fiers de porter le tien?
Oui, monsieur le marquis, je trouverais cela mau vais, si mes descendants etaient des ignorants et des sots.
