Ninette and Rastagnon, an unhealthy aristocrat, had been in love and secretly continued an affair that is sexual. Motivated by his burning wish to be with Ninette, Rastagnon approached the rich enthusiasts of Ninette’s two siblings with a strategy for several to flee to someplace where they might reside in luxury and luxuriate in pleasure without discipline.
