A Striking Paris Window and an American Visitor
In late seventeenth century Paris Adele Catinat, daughter of a Huguenot cloth merchant, and Amory de Catinat, a guarded officer, shelter a Canadian American, Amos Green, amid whispers of dragoon quartering. The scene shifts to Versailles as Captain de Catinat reports to the king's valet, amid courtly intrigue and orders regarding who may enter the royal chamber.
