The story unfolds around an intriguing premise that revolves around a warning of an impending crime, with the central character being Louis Herment, a mysterious figure who seeks to prevent a marriage he believes to be illicit and harmful. Through a complex interplay of motivations and societal expectations, the narrative promises a deep exploration of moral dilemmas and personal anguish. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to M. Barbier, the young under-secretary of state, who receives an unexpected visitor, the enigmatic Louis Herment. Herment comes to denounce what he perceives as a grave crime about to be committed—marrying a young girl, Marie-Louise de Thorvilliers, to a man he deems unworthy. As he passionately articulates his concerns about the potential suffering of the innocent girl at the hands of a notorious debauchee, the layers of his backstory begin to unravel, hinting at personal stakes tied to the situation. The opening effectively establishes suspense and curiosity, drawing readers into this moral confrontation that raises questions about justice, familial duty, and the nature of sacrifice.
