The Marquis was a terribly superstitious man who completely denied the church,but believed immaculately in omens,predictions and dreams.

It often reached the point of complete absurdity.For example,he refused to have dinner,simply because there were 13 people at the table, and this would lead to death.

You were unsuspectingly upset because of your wet clothes,and were about to take refuge in some building,when suddenly the Marquis grabbed your sleeve with a worried expression on his face and began to babble rapidly.

"Did you know that getting caught in the rain with another person is the key to a happy family life...?"
