The story revolves around the character of Trimousette, the granddaughter of the formidable Countess of Floramour, who ponders her upcoming marriage to the flamboyant Duke of Belgarde. Set against the backdrop of a turbulent France, the novel encapsulates themes of love, innocence, and the trials faced by aristocrats amidst the demands of society and revolution. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Trimousette, a shy and pensive young woman embroidering in her grandmother's garden while daydreaming about her future with the Duke of Belgarde. Trimousette's humble demeanor contrasts sharply with her aspirations for a glamorous life as a duchess, where she hopes to win the heart of the seemingly libertine duke, despite her grandmother’s concerns about his wild ways. As she daydreams about their life together, her brother Victor playfully warns her of the duke’s notorious reputation. Their conversation foreshadows the intertwined fates of the characters as the narrative unfolds, hinting at the complexities of love and duty that will be further explored throughout the story.
