Old Lafayette Narrates, the Duchess Was Very Kind to Me

We meet Lafayette as young lafayette, now played by the actor who will start in all subsequent episodes about lafayette's adventures during the american revolution. For two years we thought i was just a ward in their home,. But they wanted to wait until we weren't chi en any more. Old lafayette gazes off wistfully, remembering the first time he met his future wife. Young lafayette leans against a wall with a drink in hand, set slightly apart from a dozen young nobles seated on sofas and chairs, laughing and gossiping. All of them drinking copious amounts of wine.
