L'enfant de ma femme

A frantic 19th‑century odyssey kicks off as Colonel Framberg and his steadfast companion Mullern race from Framberg to Strasbourg, then on to Paris and back again, their mission shrouded in urgency. Their carriage careens through the night, the postilion’s haste turning the road into a perilous gauntlet, and the pair find themselves hurtling toward an unexpected mishap.

When the wheels give way and the carriage tumbles into a ditch, the colonel’s injured leg and Mullern’s exasperated humor set the tone for a tale that balances danger with lively banter. Seeking refuge, they stumble upon a solitary house that promises shelter but offers only silence and stubborn doors, forcing them to improvise in the dark.

From here the story unfolds as a comic‑driven adventure, exploring loyalty, the absurdities of travel, and the unpredictable twists that await any traveler daring enough to chase a fleeting promise.
