Prince of Foxes

Original Paragraph:
The man expressed himself like a courtier; there was no doubt of that. His accent piqued Este's curiosity.
"Where do you come from?"
"From Savoy, mighty lord."
"And are all savoiardi like you: hideous, villians, traitors, and imbeciles?"

This excerpt makes me want to read more, because you are trying to find out who this person is, and what he looks like. I imagine him ugly, but you would have to read more to find out.

I am going to re-write the last sentence with some new vocabulary words.

"And are all savoiardi like you: scrupulous, assiduous, usupers of the dominion, and imbeciles?
