Sommario/riassunto |
|
Extrait : ""Qu'est-ce qu'une femme honnête ? C'est la femme qui sait le plus noblement aimer. Car le mot honnête, qui, dans la bouche de certains jeunes gens médiocrement élevés, attire après soi ou une idée de raillerie ou une idée de bêtise, signifie, dans d'autres cœurs, la femme vraiment femme, aimante comme il faut qu'elle le soit."" |
