1. What is the text mainly about?
At first, Mrs. Baroda didn’t like her husband’s friend, Gouvernail, whom she found far from a man of wit but a dull man hard to read. One night, however, a conversation between them opened up and revealed his true personality, which proved to be a strong temptation to her, a respectable woman. But in the end, she withstood and overcame that temptation.
