Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by Google Books "The Heart of Denise and Other Tales" by S. Levett Yeats is a historical collection of stories written in the late 19th century. The opening story, "The Heart of Denise," introduces us to the main character, Denise de Mieux, a young lady embroiled in the political and social intrigues of the French court. As her fate becomes intertwined with that of the stoic lieutenant M. de Lorgnac, Denise grapples with her forced marriage and the choices that shape her tumultuous life. At the start of the narrative, Denise finds herself waiting alone in the anteroom of Queen Catherine's cabinet, feeling stifled and lonely while the merriment of the court unfolds beyond her. Her boredom leads her to wish for M. de Lorgnac's company, but he remains indifferent to her plight. Denise overhears a conversation revealing that her errant behavior has resulted in a swift decision regarding her arranged marriage to Lorgnac, whom she detests. This revelation sets the stage for her emotional turmoil as she faces her impending nuptials while secretly yearning for freedom and destined adventures in a world fraught with danger and desire.
