However, when Rosette's father discovers their relationship, he forbids them from seeing each other and arranges for Rosette to marry a wealthy nobleman.Heartbroken, Jean leaves Saint Point and travels to Paris, where he becomes a successful artist and sculptor. Years later, he returns to Saint Point and discovers that Rosette's marriage has been unhappy and that she still loves him.
