Chapter 3 de 60 · Book 1 · 10 min para leer el chapter
In Chapter 3, Pierre Gringoire’s prologue stops when Cardinal de Bourbon arrives, and the audience turns from the play to the dignitaries entering the hall. The arrival of the Flemish embassy shifts attention again, while the cardinal’s special greeting to Guillaume Rym reveals an influence the crowd does not understand.
