OverviewHistorical adventure novel set during the French Revolution On the rare occasions when Lady Chartley was at home, the whole of the elite of Cannes society and of the neighbourhood got into its motors and drove over to the beautiful Chateau de Pertuis. These were memorable afternoons. There had only been three in the last two years; but whatever other engagement one had, it had to be put aside for the sake of this one important social event. It would have been terrible indeed to be asked, Are you going to the Chateau this afternoon? and obliged to answer, No, I have promised to go over to Nice to see So-and-so, an old friend, etc. Nobody would have believed in the old friend: the conclusion would inevitably be, Poor things! they haven't been asked. And there would be a kind of commiserating little lifting of the eyebrows and a gentle query, You don't know the Chartleys, perhaps. And one either knew the Chartleys or one did not. And that was all there was to it.
