Vicomte De Bragelonne Chapter I - The Letter

In which a melancholy prince returns to the somnolent castle of Blois, where the ennui of his ennobled existence contrasts sharply with the lively chatter of two young ladies clandestinely composing a letter from the sunlit balcony. Their spirited exchange and subtle flirtations with memory and affection offer a glimpse into the quiet intrigues that stir behind the castle’s imposing walls.
