| Summary | "An Adventure" by C. A. E. Moberly and Eleanor F. Jourdain is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book narrates the authors' personal experiences and discoveries during their visit to the Petit Trianon at Versailles, where they encountered what they believe to be historical apparitions or echoes from the past, specifically relating to Marie Antoinette and her time. The beginning of the book introduces the two main characters, Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont, as they embark on an excursion to Versailles in August 1901. Initially indifferent about the visit, they explore various areas around the Petit Trianon and soon find themselves overwhelmed by an inexplicable sense of unease and eeriness. As they navigate the gardens, they encounter curious figures in outdated clothing and experience peculiar sensations, both culminating in the realization that their visit may have been marked by something more than mere historical curiosity. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of memory, history, and the supernatural as the women ponder the implications of what they experienced.
