The Champagne Queen (The Century Trilogy Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
We drank wine and chatted away and laughed.” Micheline Guenin sighed wistfully. “Claude tells such good stories. I could listen to him for hours.” A smile flickered on Isabelle’s face as she looked from the washbasin to her neighbor, who was leaning against the window. Micheline sounded like a young girl in love! She had gone to visit the Guenin sisters briefly to borrow a piece of soap. The basket of dirty wash was overflowing, and she could not put off the chore any longer, as much as she would have liked to. When Micheline had offered to help her, she accepted gladly. Since entering Isabelle’s house, the old woman had been going on about her evening at Le Grand Cerf. The picture she painted of Claude Bertrand was completely different from the one that Isabelle already had of him. Claude recited poetry? His cryptic humor had Micheline in tears? Well, it was always said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. As wonderful as the evening had been for Micheline Guenin, Isabelle herself had found it terribly frustrating.
