ABSTRACT
Out of politeness the nobleman inspected their museum. He repeated: ‘Charming. Very good!’ all the while tapping his lips with the knob of his cane. For his own part, he thanked them for saving these remains of the Middle Ages, age of religious faith and knightly loyalty. He liked progress, and would, like them, have given himself up to these interesting studies, but politics, the local council, farming, a whole whirlwind of activity kept him from it.
