Dans le roman Couplées de Marcel Boulenger, l'intrigue se déroule dans le cadre aristocratique et élégant d'Hariale, une région fictive située entre l'Ile-de-France et le Valois. Le récit s'ouvre sur la description de ce lieu enchanteur, où la baronne Sylvie Levaître, ancienne comédienne de renom, vit avec sa belle-fille Pauline. Sylvie, veuve du baron Etienne Levaître, est une figure centrale de la société locale, admirée pour sa beauté et son charme. Elle exerce une influence intermédiaire sur son entourage, y compris sur Pauline, qui semble vivre dans l'ombre de sa belle-mère. Le roman explore les relations complexes entre ces deux femmes, décrites comme couplées, unies par un lien ambigu mêlant affection et rivalité. L'intrigue se complique avec l'arrivée de François de Caumais-Simier, un jeune marquis qui cherche à épouser Pauline, mais dont les intentions sont mises en doute. Sylvie, tout en jouant son rôle de tutrice, semble avoir ses propres réserves à l'égard de ce prétendant. Parallèlement, Amédée Paqueret, un ami de la famille et passionné de sport, nourrit un projet audacieux: introduire l'athlète Marc Thierry dans ce cercle fermé, espérant qu'il séduira Pauline et assurera ainsi sa fortune. Le roman s'attarde sur les intrigues amoureuses et les jeux de pouvoir qui se tissent autour de ces personnages, tout en offrant une critique subtile des conventions sociales et des changements personnels.
