The action occurred between 1791 and 1793, and the first chapter opened at Varennes the evening of the king's arrest. Only, impatient as was the "Journal pour Tous, " I demanded a fortnight of Jules Simon before beginning my novel. I wished to go to Varennes, I was not acquainted with the locality, and I confess there is one thing I cannot do, I am unable to write a novel or a drama about localities with which I am not familiar. In order to write "Christine" I went to Fontainebleau, in writing "Henri III." I went to Blois, for "Les Trois Mousquetaires" I went to Boulogne and Béthune, for "Monte-Cristo" I returned to the Catalans and the Château d'If, for "Isaac Laquedem" I revisited Rome, and I certainly spent more time studying Jerusalem and Corinth from a distance than if I had gone there. . . .
