content
After the fight against Napoleon's Helvetic Republic at the end of 1802, Aloys was imprisoned at the Aarburg Fortress. His bride Rose ended up in the Valais annexed by Napoleon . The young girl is accompanied by an old maid who wants to kill the French "with rat poison". The father, a player and friend of the French, had fled with Rose by night and in fog from Vaud to Valais. He had secretly bought a small inn there. The father has since passed away. The newcomers are not loved by the Valais. But the mother wants to gain a foothold. Rose is supposed to marry a wealthy local. The bride of the freedom fighter Aloys is reluctant. From brief remarks and also from the sky-blue papers that Rose presents to the narrator, this and that emerges from the story of the bride and groom. The fathers of the bride and groom were regimental comrades. The two men had promised each other that they would "marry off" their children. Aloys' father had canceled the marriage at short notice when Rose's father had turned completely to the French. Aloys and Rose, on the other hand, also connected by “their common preference for old books”, had initially stuck together. But now Aloys, desperate during the imprisonment, releases the bride in a "letter of rejection". Rose hopes that the narrator, a traveler who has stopped at her mother's inn, can bring her news of Aloys.
