Le nouvel amant désigné par la prudence serait ce juge vendu, cet infâme bourreau, ce Rassi… il se trouverait anobli et dans le fait, je lui donnerais l’entrée de la bonne compagnie.
The new lover whom prudence suggests to me would be that venal judge, that foul hangman of a Rassi. ... He would find himself ennobled and, as far as that goes, I shall give him the right of entry into good society.
