Note 1 — THE CHARTERHOUSE OF PARMA
C. K. (Charles Kenneth) Scott-Moncrieff translation
So Balzac, reading les petites mains les plus gracieuses. Stendhal's words are les petites mines, and he makes the lady a Marchesa. Balzac's quotations are not, as a rule, textually accurate, but his analysis of the story is admirable.
