The story revolves around a family fleeing their homeland, specifically focusing on a father, Walther Dennhardt, his wife Fanny, and their young child, Mimi. Themes of political strife, personal sacrifice, and the search for peace thread through the narrative as the characters navigate their tumultuous circumstances. The opening of the novella depicts the harrowing escape of Walther, Fanny, and their sleeping child, as they leave Germany behind. The couple's contrasting emotions are evident, with Walther expressing sorrow at the loss of his homeland, and Fanny exhibiting anger and disdain toward it. As they make their way, they encounter a gendarmerie patrol searching for Walther due to his involvement in uprisings, leading to a tense confrontation. However, they are saved by the timely intervention of a French nobleman, Vicomte Edmund von Grandlieu, who insists the patrol respect the boundaries of France, allowing the family to continue their escape. This initial conflict sets the stage for themes of exile, familial love, and emerging relationships amidst the political turmoil of their time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
