Produced by Daniel Fromont "My Little Lady" by E. Frances Poynter is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Horace Graham, a young English medical student, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a charming little girl named Madeleine, or "Madelon," in the tranquil town of Chaudfontaine. The story explores themes of innocence and the complicated dynamics of gambling, family, and childhood, focusing on the relationship between Madelon and her father, M. Linders, a gambling man whose life choices impact his daughter's upbringing. At the start of the novel, the protagonist Horace finds himself in the picturesque setting of Chaudfontaine, where he decides to stay for a day instead of continuing his journey to Brussels. He comes across Madeleine in the hotel garden, a precocious little girl rehearsing dance steps with her doll and later identifying herself as the daughter of a well-known gambler. The opening chapters introduce the contrasting worlds of childhood innocence and the adult realities of gambling, as Horace is captivated by Madelon's spirit. Their interaction hints at a deeper exploration of Madelon's life, shaped by her father's influences and the whimsical pleasures surrounding her, setting the stage for an exploration of how her upbringing will mold her character and future.
