Chateau is the sixth of the 42 delightful short stories that Anthony Trollope wrote. It was originally published in 1860. It is less than a dozen and a half pages in length. It is so good that we would want it to be longer. It is about a woman, a widow with two children, who was about 36 years old, who was well to do, and about a man who was about ten years her senior. The two were at a hotel in France and sat next to each other for meals at the hotel’s long table with other hotel patrons for about a month. She planned to leave for England in a few days.

It seemed clear to the woman and most of the people at the hotel that the man was in love with the woman and wanted to marry her. He was a very kind man and very courteous to her and her two daughters who were with her. But she knew nothing more about him. She felt she could not marry a man unless she knew his profession and income. She felt he would be proposing shortly, and felt she had to find a way to enquire about his profession and income.

The story is told in a warm manner and we become fond of all the characters in the tale and we, like the patrons in the hotel, wonder if the man will propose, and if he does will he be disappointed.

I don't usually read short stories because they seem dense and demanding and require more effort than their few pages justify. I downloaded Polignac, mistakenly thinking it was a novel. I'm glad I did. There is in this short piece all the usual charm you expect from Trollope, particularly his occasional direct address to the reader, for example, ". . . but, speaking for myself, I am inclined to think that she arrived at last at a wise decision." I love that in Trollope. It's all over his novels.

The story isn't without substance: The reader is a witness to a main character's (the widow, Ms. Thompson's) struggle to decide whether she should or should receive favorably the romantic approach of a friendly Frenchman (M. Lacordaire). The reader will have a point of view, so will Mrs. Thompson, and so will Trollope. A good story indeed. Not a life changer, but worthy, I think, of four stars.
