The Death of a Lady

Emma de Moisele Victorin La Focad was a young girl of illustrious family. Among her suitors was Juliane Busuet, a poor literature or journalist. After marriage, however, this gentleman neglected Emma and she died. He travelled from the capital to the remote province in which the village lies. With the romantic purpose of disentering the corpse he possessed himself with luxuriant tresses. She was buried not in a vault, but in an ordinary grave.
