"Do you know what the plebs are? Yes, teacher. I knew what the plebs were at that moment, and much more clearly than when Oliviero had asked me years before. We were the plebs. The plebs was that squabbling over food together with wine, that arguing over who was served first and best, that filthy floor on which the waiters passed and repassed, those increasingly vulgar toasts. Everyone was laughing, even Lila, with the air of someone who has a role and carries it out to the end."
