The abbess, who was the daughter of a noble house, took particular delight in stories of the court, which so seldom travel to the extremities of the kingdom, and which, above all, have so much difficulty in penetrating the walls of convents, at whose threshold the noise of the world dies away.
A la abadesa, que era una hija de la nobleza, le gustaban sobre todo las historias de corte, que rara vez llegan hasta las extremidades del reino y que, sobre todo, tanto les cuesta franquear los muros de los conventos, a cuyo umbral vienen a expirar los rumores mundanales.
