| Summary | "Sister Anne" by Paul de Kock is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story centers around Dubourg, a somewhat careless and whimsical man in his thirties, who finds himself in a predicament after losing money that he received from his aunt. As he wanders the streets of Paris during a quiet night, he reflects on his past misadventures and contemplates reaching out to his friend Frédéric, the son of a count, for assistance. At the start of the novel, we meet Dubourg as he walks through the silent boulevards of Paris, captured in a mix of introspection and self-deprecating humor. He laments his poor financial decisions and considers the implications of his gambling habit on his friendship with Frédéric. As tension builds, Dubourg unexpectedly stumbles upon a lavish ball at Frédéric's home, quickly realizing he’s crashed a significant social event. The beginning sets the stage for a comedic exploration of friendship, societal expectations, and the consequences of one's choices amid the vibrant backdrop of early 19th-century Parisian life.
