Summary

At a resort hotel in the mountains, a bored young baron makes friends with a twelve-year-old boy in order to get close to the boy's mother. The child, delighted at first, slowly realises that the grown-ups are keeping a secret from him and sets out to discover it. A tense novella of a child at the edge of the adult world.
