Synopsis
At a dinner party hosted by Prince Patrizzi, Doctor Davidoff shares the idea that a person may save the life of a loved one who is deathly ill, by giving them their soul, at the price of their own life. This makes a great impression on Pierre Laurier, a painter, and Jacques de Vignes, who is seriously ill himself.
The same evening, Pierre disappears after having been dismissed by his mistress, the beautiful Clémence Villa, leaving behind a suicide note in which he expresses the wish to give up his soul to restore Jacques' health...

gollark: I rethought it and I think I might not support block-based HTML but allow a limited subset of inline HTML.
gollark: This is ridiculous. The HTML standard is too complicated and has too many weird edge cases. I'll just make my markdown thing ignore HTML or treat it as normal text.
gollark: Why?
gollark: Well, you complain a lot about your country and money and stuff, which wouldn't really matter much to a world leader.
