L'enfant de ma femme by Paul de Kock
"L'enfant de ma femme" by Paul de Kock is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story opens with Colonel Framberg and his companion Mullern desperately trying to reach Strasbourg, only to find themselves embroiled in a series of misadventures, including a carriage accident. As they explore a mysterious abandoned house in their pursuit, they encounter unexpected challenges that hint at the unfolding drama and romantic entanglements to come. At
the start of the novel, we are introduced to Colonel Framberg and Mullern as they journey to Strasbourg, worried about reaching their destination in time. Their travel is abruptly interrupted when their carriage crashes, forcing them to seek refuge for the night. As they search for shelter, Mullern's clumsiness leads to humorous mishaps, such as falling into a bucket of water and crashing down stairs, while Colonel Framberg suffers a leg injury.
