There, Anne Larson, invited by Raymond, came to spend the holidays with them. Anne and Raymond soon fell in love and informed Cécile they would marry when they return to Paris. At first delighted by this prospect, Cécile will however changes her mind when Anne starts to give her advice about her sex life and to criticize the way she was spending her free time.
