Brief story first published in 1753. Here it is the beauty of the place which becomes an instrument of erotic persuasion. The young woman who has been able to resist all the enterprises of a seducer will succumb and fall into the latter's arms, captivated by the voluptuous elegance of the "little house" he inhabits. This story offers us a delicious museum of decorative arts in miniature. The seduction progresses through a decor of lilac or soft sulfur-colored paneling, a boudoir punctuated by porcelain flowering trees, a lacquer cabinet, cedar and amaranth parquet floors, a bed covered in pekin daffodil.
