La duchesse avait encore des façons si extraordinaires que le maître d’une auberge de village, où l’on dîna, crut avoir affaire à une princesse du sang impérial, et allait lui faire rendre les honneurs qu’il croyait lui être dus, lorsque Ludovic dit à cet homme que la princesse le ferait immanquablement mettre en prison s’il s’avisait de faire sonner les cloches.
The Duchessa again behaved in so extraordinary a fashion that the landlord of a village inn where they dined thought he was entertaining a Princess of the Imperial House, and was going to pay her the honours which he supposed to be due to her when Lodovico told him that the Princess would without fail have him put in prison if he thought of ordering the bells to be rung.
