(4) 4-6 Translated by Catherine Temerson. Marion becomes a servant to King Louis XIV's mistress, who is delighted to discover the girl's talent for making perfume. Some of the characters' actions and some details of daily life at Versailles in 1674 are not believable, but the mystery Marion works to solve is interesting. A history of perfumes is appended.
