Le dénouement imprévu (1912) Online
Fickle and faithless, like all noblemen of his time, our Marquis even tries to make love to his pretty laundress, Margot. He dreams of making himself handsome to please her, and goes to the barber every day for that reason alone. Now, pretty Margot has a lover who cannot endure the presence of a rival, even though he be rich and noble. He (Marquis) entrusts his valet, Lucre, to bring Margot a bouquet, in which this note is concealed: "My dear Margot, I will expect you this evening in the grove by the park." Unfortunately Lucre meets the Marchioness on his way. She takes the bouquet from him and, of course, finds the note. Then she gives the order to the valet to give the bouquet to the girl and not to tell anything to his master. So Lucre does not say anything to the Marquis, and when night came and our nobleman went to meet the pretty Margot, he was quite surprised to meet his own wife.
