THE STORY

ACT I. In his library, the Marquis de la Force talks worriedly with his son, the Chevalier, about Blanche, his impressionable daughter, who is unable to overcome her fear of life. She suddenly appears, frightened by hostile crowds that surrounded her carriage on her way home. After retiring, Blanche returns, having been terrified by a servant's shadow, and announces her wish to become a nun.
