Lucienne`s Mirror
Lucienne, a fashionable lady at the height of her fame and popularity in the high society of Paris, fell in love with a poor painter, Still, she could never feel like marrying the young artist, although she was well aware that she would perhaps find real happiness in a poor life to be shared with him.
Lucienne, as a matter of fact, was too used to a life of luxury and plenty.
On a certain night, she, as usual, had a party. She became weary of it and fed up with the atmosphere of grandeur and gorgeousness which pervaded the gay party, and, alone, she retired into the Room of Mirrors, where she sank into memories of the day, 10 years before, when she was a mere poor village girl in Hungary.
She has come through a series of amorous adventures with titled noblemen and diplomats in Moscow, Persia, and then, Paris. From her ignoble birth in a remote Hungarian hamlet to her present luxurious society life in Paris, it was a long story indeed.
And, what did all these adventures amount to after all ....
Any other interesting or important stuff.
