| Summary | "La petite mademoiselle" by Robert de Montesquiou is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story appears to revolve around the intricacies of life in a rural French chateau as it follows the experiences of the newly arrived governess, Miss Winter, and her interactions with the noble family, particularly the Comtesse and her children. The narrative hints at themes of class distinction, educational expectations, and the complexities of social relationships. The opening of the novel introduces the setting at a chateau in Touraine, during the late summer as the children prepare to enjoy their games after dinner. The family awaits the arrival of Miss Winter, the new governess, whose anticipated presence seems to stir a mix of excitement and concern among the adults. The narrative establishes a light-hearted yet revealing gameplay dynamic among the children, laying the groundwork for character interactions that explore the contrasts in social pretenses and familial expectations. Meanwhile, the Comtesse's increasing impatience hints at her rigid personality and controlling nature, suggesting that the governess's arrival could disrupt the established order within the household.
