Summary | "Le Mariage de Gabrielle" by Daniel Lesueur is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of several characters from the French aristocracy, particularly focusing on René de Laverdie, a young count who recently lost his fortune through gambling, and his close friend Alphonse de Linières. The narrative sets the stage for a complicated romantic entanglement involving class distinctions and the societal pressures of nobility. The opening of the novel introduces the comte René de Laverdie, who is awakening after a night of heavy gambling, having lost a significant portion of his wealth. His friend Alphonse de Linières enters, concerned for his well-being, as the comte's recklessness has led him into dire financial straits. While René appears somewhat indifferent to his losses, Alphonse is deeply troubled by the implications of such a lifestyle. Their conversation reveals the contrast between their characters: René, carefree and impulsive, and Alphonse, practical and reserved. Soon, René drops a surprising revelation about pursuing a marriage that promises a way out of his predicament, introducing Gabrielle Duriez into the narrative as the key to his hopes for redemption and stability.
