“«Est-ce qu'on ne pourrait pas enlever ceci?» demanda M. de Charlus à Morel comme à un intermédiaire et pour ne pas s'adresser directement aux garçons. Il désignait par «ceci» trois roses fanées dont un maître d'hôtel bien intentionné avait cru devoir décorer la table. «Si..., dit Morel embarrassé. Vous n'aimez pas les roses?--Je prouverais au contraire, par la requête en question, que je les aime, puisqu'il n'y a pas de roses ici (Morel parut surpris), mais en réalité je ne les aime pas beaucoup. Je suis assez sensible aux noms; et dès qu'une rose est un peu belle, on apprend qu'elle s'appelle la Baronne de Rothschild ou la Maréchale Niel, ce qui jette un froid.
["Would it be possible to remove that?" M. de Charlus asked Morel, speaking to him as an intermediary so as not to have to address the waiters directly. By "that", he referred to three withered roses with which a well-intentioned maitre d' had considered it his duty to decorate the table. "Uh, yes..." said Morel, embarrassed. "So you don't like roses?" "On the contrary," replied Charlus, "my request suggests that I do like them, since there are no roses here (Morel seemed surprised), but in point of fact I don't much like them. I am rather sensitive to names; and whenever a rose is on the attractive side, you always discover it's called something like the Baroness de Rothschild or the Lady Niel, which ruins everything."]”
