Gerfaut is considered De Bernards greatest work. The plot turns on an attachment between a married woman and the hero of the story. The book has nothing that can justly offend, the incomparable sketches of Marillac and Mademoiselle de Corandeuil are admirable; Gerfaut and Bergenheim possess pronounced originality, and the author is, so to speak, incarnated with the hero of his romance. The most uncritical reader can not fail to notice the success with which Charles de Bernard introduces people of rank and breeding into his stories.
