No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A young painter, Hippolyte Schinner, falls off a stepladder in his
studio. His neighbours, two ladies of modest means, Madame de Rouville
and her daughter AdΓ©laΓ―de, come to his aid and he falls in love with the
girl. Every night two old gentlemen visit the women. They play cards
with them and deliberately lose in order to give them money, disguising
their charity. One day Hippolyte forgets his purse at AdΓ©laΓ―deβs. When
he returns to retrieve it, the young woman says she never laid eyes on
it and he suspects the worst. But the mystery is solved when it turns
out that AdΓ©laΓ―de has made a new purse βembroidered with golden beadsβ
for Hippolyte.
