But secretly, the shallowness of Court life disgusts her, and in her heart she longs for freedom and honest love.

Instead of feeling fear, Dona's thirst for adventure has never been more aroused; in Jean-Benoit Auéry she finds a sensitive man who would, like her, gamble his life for a moment's joy.
