Excerpt from The Tidings Brought to Mary: A Mystery
My own work, that suddenly I should lay an impious and lustful hand on the work of another, a living being?
Violaine: In my father's house, the house of your host! Lord! What would they have said if they had known? But I concealed it well.
And they all take you for a sincere and blameless man, just as they did before.

Excerpt from The Tidings Brought to Mary: A Mystery
The barn at Combernon. It is a lofty edifice, with square pillars that support a vaulted roof. It is empty except for the right wing, which is still filled with straw; and straws are scattered about on the floor, which is of well-trampled earth. At the back is a large double door in the thick wall, with complicated bars and bolts. On the valves of the door are painted rude images of St. Peter and St. Paul, one holding the keys, the other the sword. The scene is lighted by a large yellow wax candle in an iron socket fastened to one of the pillars.
The scenes of the drama take place at the close of the Middle Ages, seen conventionally, as medieval poets might have imagined classic antiquity.
The time is night, merging into the hours of dawn.
Enter, on a heavy horse, a man wearing a black cloak, and with a leather bag on the horse's croup behind him, Pierre De Craon. His gigantic shadow moves across the wall, the floor, the pillars.
Suddenly, from behind a pillar, Violaine steps out to meet him. She is tall and slender, and her feet are bare. Her gown is of coarse woollen stuff, and upon her head is a linen coif at once peasant-like and monastic.
