Pour montrer
qu’elle ne cherchait pas à faire sentir dans un salon où elle ne
venait que par condescendance, la supériorité de son rang, elle était
entrée en effaçant les épaules là même où il n’y avait aucune foule à
fendre et personne à laisser passer, restant exprès dans le fond, de
l’air d’y être à sa place, comme un roi qui fait la queue à la porte
d’un théâtre tant que les autorités n’ont pas été prévenues qu’il est
là; et, bornant simplement son regard--pour ne pas avoir l’air de
signaler sa présence et de réclamer des égards--à la
considération
d’un
dessin du tapis ou de sa propre jupe, elle se tenait debout à
l’endroit qui lui avait paru le plus modeste (et d’où elle savait bien
qu’une exclamation ravie de Mme de Saint-Euverte allait la tirer dès
que celle-ci l’aurait aperçue), à côté de Mme de Cambremer qui lui
était inconnue.
