The story revolves around Éliane Benoît, a widow who, despite her previous misfortunes, harbors aspirations to secure a prestigious future for her daughter, Lucile, by marrying her off to a man of noble descent. The narrative explores themes of ambition, social status, and the intertwining of love and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the character of Mme Benoît, who is portrayed as a vivacious and ambitious woman with a vivid memory of her own youth and a desire to elevate her family's status. The plot begins with her memories of seizing opportunities for her daughter, initially navigating through encounters with potential suitors until she finally determines to marry Lucile to a suitable marquis. Through this introduction, the stage is set for a comedic exploration of social pretensions and the complications that arise from Mme Benoît's persistent ambition in the harsh world of aristocratic Parisian society.
