An Old Maid by Honore de Balzac

The author begins to describe how they reacted during the period when France was going through administrative turmoil. They were all willing to leave the Bourbons in tranquil possession of the throne of France; for it was too plainly established that Henri IV. became king for want of a male heir in the first Orleans branch called the Valois. The story prepares the readers for the historical facts and how French people faced the situation. After the description of the historical facts, the main protagonist The Old Maid is introduced and the main storyline takes shape.
