How beautiful!

Our famous bridal chamber, said the prince, laughing.
human
It was a strange idea of those old people, to spend the first night in such a peculiar apartment. When they married, in our family, they slept here on the bridal night. It was a sort of superstition. The young wife remained faithful only provided it was here that she spent the first night with her husband. Poor Urania! We did not sleep here, signora mia, among all these indecent goddesses of love. We no longer respect the family tradition. Urania is therefore doomed by fate to be unfaithful to me. Unless I take that doom on my own shoulders....

I suppose the fidelity of the husbands is not mentioned in this family tradition?
human
No, we attached very little importance to that ... nor do we nowadays....

It's glorious, Cornélie repeated, locking around her.

Duco will think it perfectly glorious. Oh, prince, I never saw such a room! Look at Venus over there, with the wounded Adonis, his head in her lap, the nymphs lamenting! It is a fairy-tale.

There's too much gold for my taste.
human
It may have been so before, too much gold....
gpt
Masses of gold denoted wealth and abundant love. The wealth is gone....
human
But the gold is softened now, so beautifully toned down....
gpt
The abundant love has remained: the San Stefanos have always loved much.
