Description

The Deserted Woman - Quote, "The figure of the Vicomtesse de Beauseant rose up suddenly before him with gracious thronging associations. She was a new world for him, a world of fears and hopes, a world to fight for and to conquer. Inevitably he felt the contrast between this vision and the human beings in the shabby room; and then, in truth, she was a woman."

Features

In Pere Goriot, one of the cornerstones of the Human Comedy, we first met Eugene de Rastignac's cousin Vicomtesse de Beauseant. Although married herself, she felt "deserted" when her lover decided to marry and she left Paris prior to his wedding.
For three years she has lived in isolation, almost mourning. Now her story continues in The Deserted Woman.
M. le Baron Gaston de Nueil, a young Parisian, has been sent away from Paris to recover from an inflammatory complaint. He finds life in the provinces rather slow after the feverish life of Paris.
In the early spring of 1822, the Paris doctors sent to Lower Normandy a young man just recovering from an inflammatory complaint, brought on by overstudy, or perhaps by excess of some other kind. His convale-scence demanded complete rest, a light diet, bracing air, and freedom from excitement of every kind, and the fat lands of Bessin seemed to offer all these conditions of recovery.
To Bayeux, a picturesque place about six miles from the sea, the patient therefore betook himself, and was received with the cordiality characteristic of relatives who lead very retired lives, and regard a new arrival as a godsend. All little towns are alike, save for a few local customs.
When M. le Baron Gaston de Nueil, the young Parisian in question, had spent two or three evenings in his cousin's house, or with the friends who made up Mme. de Sainte-Severe's circle, he very soon had made the acquaintance of the persons whom this exclusive society considered to be "the whole town." Gaston de Nueil recognized in them the invariable stock characters which every observer finds in every one of the many capitals of the little States which made up the France of an older day.
