I know her well, for she comes from my province, and her father's chateau was within a few miles of Dijon.

Although her father was a furious aristocrat, her heart was always with the people.

She was good to the poor, and was beloved by all the tenants on the estate.

It is not just that she should die for the sins of her parents.

Moreover, henceforth, if pardoned, she will be no longer an aristocrat.
