In this chapter we are introduced to a new character, Marguerite. Marguerite happens to be the mother of Anatole and Leonie. She is a single woman and tends to be a little risque for that time period. Well in this excerpt she is out to dinner with her "date", when a young gentleman comes around asking her if she has seen her son. Of course she replies by saying no, but the scene seems sketchy to her so she hurries up her dinner.
This chapter takes place when Leonie has finally gone home. She should go off to sleep, but shes worried about her brother for he has snuck out again to go off somewhere. Where? of course she doesn't know. So she sits by the window and waits for him, she ends up falling asleep.
Anatole has just left his girlfriends house and is planning to walk home, however someone happens to be following him. So of course Anatole starts to speed up while looking for something he can defend himself with. Well he is pretty much beaten up anyway. So he is lying on the ground when a old man comes back to assist him home.
In the next chapter Leonie wakes up to find out that Anatole has returned. However when she See's him in the kitchen his face is all banged up. He says its from the opera house extravaganza but she knows better and calls him out on it later on. He keeps to himself and is very vague about the whole ordeal. later on they get a letter requesting them to go to their widowed aunts house. Anatole could use the escape so Leonie agrees.
Nice couple of chapters. Anatole seems like he is getting himself in to a lot of trouble lately. Leonie also seems to have a strong relationship with her brother if she is always so worried about him. I wonder whats going to happen next.
