The Countess of Saint Geran

The Countess of Saint-Geran and her husband had long given up the idea of ever producing an heir, and so, given the greed that overcomes people when faced with wills, inheritances, heirs and what-have-you, the Count's sister, the Marchioness de Bouille- more-or-less expects to get the entire bundle when her brother and sister-in-law die, presumably childless.
