The Romance of the Forest
Authorship not stated
You are Adeline, pushed at gunpoint from a locked room into the carriage of a stranger, Pierre de la Motte, who cannot promise safety but offers more than your keepers did. His wife, Madame de la Motte, takes you in without demanding to know why, and the family flees toward the Forest of Fontanville through fever and a lost road, arriving at nightfall at a ruined abbey - where a barred door, and a sound behind it, suggest someone reached the shelter first.
