Douce
Set in Paris in 1887, the story follows Irène, a governess to Douce, the granddaughter of the dowager Countess de Bonafé. Douce is in love with Fabien, the estate's handsome manager, but their class difference makes marriage impossible. Douce's widowed father, the Count de Bonafé, who has a wooden leg, is infatuated with Irène. After discovering that Fabien intends to flee to Quebec with Irène and that her father has asked Irène to marry him, Douce tells Fabien about the proposal and persuades him to run away with her, throwing the family into consternation.
