The opening of the memoir introduces Margaret as she reflects on her past, specifically her childhood in England, her family dynamics, and her eventual marriage arranged by her mother. As she prepares to attend her first ball at Whitehall, she experiences trepidation about marrying a man she perceives to be much older than herself, only to discover that her intended spouse is in fact a very young viscount, Gaspard de Bellaise. The narrative depicts her anxieties as she navigates her identity between English customs and her new life in France, foreshadowing the trials and tribulations she will face as she contemplates her family legacy and societal expectations in a foreign land.
