In Order of Appearance: The Women The Men |
Adelie has chosen to step outside society.
To those who have families and homes, this makes her dangerous even
though she is no thief nor a whore. However, though it is her
choice that places her without a hearth, she feels that she has been
harried into it by the Baron of Chauvigny, her father. She is his
unacknowledged bastard, and his soldiers have been trying to kill her
since she was a girl. She can no longer live with her mother, as she will not lift her skirts to the owner of the Inn where her mother has a room. She will not live again in the convent where they used to beat her to drive out from her what they called her mother's stain of sin. Alone and without a place where she can fit into society, she longs to have a home, a family and to be valued more than the refuse she picks through for her food.
