The Marquise is at home to receive society for a day of gossip when her neighbour, the Baron, arrives unexpectedly. As the pair parry verbally, feigned indifference masks true feelings.

In a witty comedy of manners, de Musset has created an unconventional declaration d’amour that masterfully evokes the sophisticated and romantic world of 19th century Paris. In a brief jewel of a play, this is a bright and unconventional statement of love.
