The first half of this volume of The Remembrance of Things Past describes the narrator's grief at the flight of his mistress Albertine; he learns of her death in a riding accident; his feelings for Albertine alternately intensify and diminish, and at length his memories of her fade. The narrator's article is at last published by Le Figaro, and at the same time he meets his old flame Gilberte, whose mother Odette had been married to the late Charles Swann and is now the wife of M. de Forcheville.
