The Nuptials of Corbal

It is the turbulent period of the French Revolution, half gentleman and half valet, half wolf and half fox, Citizen Chauviniere enters the prison to hear the list of the condemned read to the waiting nobles.  Shrinking away from the jailers, Cleonie de Montsorbier learns tha she has been saved by the infamous Citizen Chauviniere for a fate worse than the guillotine.  But the fox is not clever enough to escape with his prey, and in a battle of wits and pistols he is forced to confront the Vicomte de Corbal.
