A dîner, il lui adressa la parole ; en un mot, ce jeudi de Mme Sanseverina amena une révolution d’intérieur dont tout Parme retentit ; la Raversi fut consternée, et la duchesse eut une double joie : elle avait pu être utile à son amant et l’avait trouvé plus épris que jamais.
At dinner, he addressed her again; in a word, this Thursday at Signora Sanseverina's brought about a domestic revolution with which the whole of Parma rang; the Raversi was in consternation, and the Duchessa doubly delighted: she had contrived to be of use to her lover, and had found him more in love with her than ever.
