But the two soldiers conspire to enact an audacious form of revenge against the country that abandoned them to penury and despair, with a scheme to swindle the whole of France on an epic scale. Meanwhile, believing her brother killed in action, ???douard's sister Madeleine has married Pradelle, who is running a little scam of his own... Translated from the French by Frank Wynne
