Madame Baptiste
Blanche was raped in her adolescence by a servant, a cowherd named Baptiste.

A man saves her and, charmed by the woman who now owes him her life, he asks her to marry him, thus defying the moral barriers set by public opinion. Life now seems happy for Blanche, but one day, at the agricultural show, the insult comes again: "Madame Baptiste!"...
