Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Madame Olympe
Il est midi. Un grele rayon de soleil, percant grand'peine la brumeuse atmosphere d'un jour de pluie, jette, a travers les amples rideaux de damas discretement drapes, une pale et douteuse lumiere, terne comme une lueur funebre. Au milieu de cette obscurite diurne qui laisse plutot deviner qu'apercevoi! Les objets, dans un angle de la chambre si prudemment close aux inquisitions de l'exterieur, on distingue, d'abord confusement et plus clairement ensuite, une silhouette de femme assise au fond d'un grand fauteuil.
