But Odette was one of those persons (an extremely numerous class, whatever the fashionable world may think, and to be found in every section of society) who do not share this knowledge, but imagine fashion to be something of quite another kind, which assumes different aspects according to the circle to which they themselves belong, but has the special characteristic-common alike to the fashion of which Odette used to dream and to that before which Mme. Cottard bowed-of being directly accessible to all.
Odette, ordea, halako noziorik ez duten pertsonen taldekoa zen (talde ugaria zinez, zernahi dela ere mundu-giroko jendeek horretaz pentsatzen dutena, gizarte-klase guztietan ugari baino ugariagoa), eta pertsona horiek guztiz bestelako chic bat imajinatzen dute, norbera bizi den inguruaren araberako tankera ezberdinez aniztuna, baina ezaugarri berezi baterakoi bakarra duena-nahiz Odettek amesten zuena izan, nahiz Mme. Cottardek men egiten ziona izan-: denontzat zuzenean eskuragarri izatearena.
