TIMELESS BOOKS: Marital peace, by Honore de Balzac

A nice sketch, a tip given to the wives to be lenient towards their husbands. The story develops in the space of an hour, turning around four characters. In Paris, during a dance in the Napoleonic era, the intrigue comes from the curiosity of a young and frivolous legal adviser, to a pretty unknown. She is sitting alone in a corner, ignored by all. Begins a game of betting with Col. Count de Montcornet, whose post up for grabs the seduction of the beautiful unknown.
