Time alone gives Marie love.

Holding Marie’s hand, Melanie reached out to her sister.

“Avez-vous déjà eu le sentiment de pouvoir briser les liens de l'esclavage dans lesquels vous aviez été vendu?”

{“Did you ever feel you could break the bonds of slavery you had been sold into?”}

“Ma vie a été sans amour pendant 7 ans. Je n'étais qu'une fille de 14 ans lorsque mes parents m'ont confié à Louis sur cette île du Rhin.

Après la guerre de 7 ans, l’alliance entre l’Autriche et la France a nécessité que notre mariage soit un lien entre nos pays.

Mais Louis et moi aimerions enfin. Marie-Thérèse que vous connaissez et aimez Mélanie était une enfant née du véritable amour.”

{“My life was loveless for 7 years. I was only a girl of 14 when I was given to Louis by my parents on that island in the Rhine River.

After the 7 years’ war it was necessary for the alliance between Austria and France that our marriage be a bond between our countries.

But Louis and I would finally love. Marie-Thérèse who you know and love Melanie was a child born in true love.”}
