Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Art of Being Bored (Le Monde Où L'on S'ennuie) A Comedy in Three Acts
Paul. Very well, dear. I call you dear, as we are alone, but later on, before the guests, it must be merely Jeanne. The Comtesse de Céran has done me the honor of asking me to introduce my young wife to her, and of spending a few days here at her chateau. Mme. De Ceran's circle is one of the three or four most in?uential in Paris. We are not here' to amuse ourselves. I come here merely a Sub-prefect; I am determined to leave a Prefect. Everything depends on her - upon us - upon you!
