The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. It is a gripping tale of passion and intrigue set against the backdrop of 19th century France.My first words on waking, were to ask if he had yet come. All day long I was waiting, and watching, and listening for him, starting up at every sound, and continually running to the window. Would he be young and handsome? Or would he be old, and white-haired, and world-forgotten, like some of those Bastille prisoners I had heard my father speak of? Would his chains rattle when he walked about? I asked myself these questions, and answered them as my childish imagination prompted, a hundred times a day; and still he came not.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
