This etext was produced by David Widger "A Woodland Queen ('Reine des Bois') — Volume 1" by André Theuriet is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story begins with the unfolding mystery surrounding the estate of the deceased Claude de Buxieres, particularly focusing on questions of inheritance and family ties. Key characters introduced include the justice of the peace, M. Eustache Destourbet, his clerk Seurrot, the natural heir Claudet Sejournant, and Manette, the housekeeper. The opening of the novel reveals a tense moment as the justice and his clerk venture to the Chateau of Vivey to address the estate's management following the proprietor's untimely death. They are met with uncertainty regarding the existence of a will that would determine the rightful inheritor. As discussions unfold between the characters, it becomes clear that Claudet Sejournant, although informally regarded as the heir due to his relationship with the deceased, faces a stark reality regarding his legitimacy and rights following the impression of a distant relative, Julien de Buxieres, stepping into the role of the official heir. This conflict introduces themes of familial connection, social status, and personal ambition, setting the stage for potential troubles and character development as they navigate the complexities of inheritance and identity.
