The Cipher Reveals a Dijon Collector and a Fiery Secret
In Dijon, Eustache Loriot, a deputy judge and avid bric-a-brac collector, accuses his wife and Frederic Simonnet of clever cipher work using Daphnis and Chloe. The book's pages are marked with red hyphens and yellow dots, a code their prisoner of influence used for secret messages. The diary ends with a blaze as the rare volume is destroyed, destroying the cipher key and the enigmatic correspondence.
