He had but one passion; he loved his daughters, and by endowing each of them with a dot of eight hundred thousand francs, he married the eldest, Anastasie, to the Count de Restaud, and the youngest, Delphine, to the Baron de Nucingen, a rich German financier.

What the duchesse did not reveal was that Anastasie had a lover, Count Maxime de Trailles, a gambler and a duellist.

Anastasie did come to the death-chamber, but too late.
