| Summary: | Adrienne Mesurat lives with her father, a retired writing master, and Germaine, her disabled older sister, in a small, ugly villa in the country town of La Tour l'Eveque. The routine of the household is simple, for Antoine Mesurat lives only to indulge his own quiet tastes. Three meals a day, his morning and evening walks, his favorite newspaper, an occasional game of trente-et-un: these are his pleasures. In his tranquilly stubborn manner, he is a complete domestic tyrant, and the idea that his daughters might be unhappy with their lot never crosses his mind. |
