The Young Actress and a Forfeit that Burns Away
A young Parisian actress seeks to quit a theater over a marriage plan to a poor merchant’s clerk. She pays a ten thousand franc forfeit, which the manager accepts in a dramatic twist, later freeing her as the betrothal falters and the theater suffers a cash crunch. In a separate vignette, Talleyrand meets Benedict Arnold in Havre, revealing Arnold’s infamous name and the era’s shadowed moral debts.
