Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bondwoman Near Moret, in France, where the Seine is formed and flows northward, there lives an old lady named Madame Blanc, who can tell much of the history written here - though it be a history belonging more to American lives than French. She was of the Caron establishment when Judithe first came into the family, and has charge of a home for aged ladies of education and refinement whose means will not allow of them providing for themselves. It is a memorial founded by her adopted daughter and is known as the Levigne Pension. The property on which it is established is the little Levigne estate - the one forming the only dowery of Judithe Levigne when she married Philip Alain - Marquis de Caron. There is also a bright-eyed, still handsome woman of mature years, who lives in our South and has charge of another memorial - or had until recently - a private industrial school for girls of her own selection. She calls herself a creole of San Domingo, and she also calls herself Madame Trouvelot - she has been married twice since she was first known by that name, for she was never the woman to live alone - not she; but while the men in themselves suited her, their names were uncompromisingly plain - did not attract her at all.
