About this book
A delayed train brings young English traveller Horace Graham to Chaudfontaine, a Belgian village of wooded hills, streams and a quiet hotel garden. There he encounters Madelon, a small child absorbed in teaching her doll to dance. E. Frances Poynter opens this novel with close attention to the scenery, the pleasures of travel and the lively conversation of strangers meeting away from home.
Later, Madelon lives in a Belgian convent, where lessons, chapel singing and needlework shape her days. Horace serves as an army surgeon in the Crimea, while the convent Superior prevents his letters from reaching the child. Madelon grows accustomed to the daily routine yet continues to hope for a different future.
