If she were a heroine in a novel, it would be a symbolist work depicting the coming of age of two different girls, bosom buddies, that once believed in the same story of guardian angels, but as they grew older, only one retained the belief, while the other outgrew it - and resultantly, they outgrew each other. In the end, however, the girl who held on to the faith was visited by her guardian angel who would guide her onwards into a life of true happiness.

Madeleine lost her parents when she was six years old, moving in with her aunt, an extremely stern and pious woman but also rather eccentric with an interest in angelology, in a Parisian townhouse where she would continue to live until she turned twenty. Next door lived another girl, the same age, Marie-Louise Léandre, who would become Madeleine's bosom buddy and closest confidante. She played the flute, whereas Madeleine was a writer, two talents that should come to complement each other well. As they grew up together, building a whole imaginary world around Madeleine's aunt's stories of guardian angels in which they each had their own, Madeleine Gabriel; the feminine-presenting archangel of beauty and Marie-Louise, Hagiel, the archangel of Venus and protector of marriage. Whenever Marie-Louise prayed to Hagiel to reveal her true love, Madeleine prayed to Marie-Louise’s protector that he would reveal it to be her. Because Madeleine fantasized about sharing her whole life with Marie-Louise, living with her in a house somewhere in absolute peace, being protected by God. However, as they became young adults and debuted into the socialite life, Marie-Louise began taking an interest in the men they were introduced to at the balls they attended and one day, she confessed that she no longer truly believed in the childish notion of guardian angels, but had recently got engaged and would marry within a year, moving away from Paris. Madeleine's world shattered. As she despaired, however, her guardian angel, Gabriel, visited her, standing before her and telling her that her road from here led to the convent at Sacre Coeur. Madeleine was to become a nun and in that firm and eternal sisterhood where no one ever married any mortal man, she would finally be happy.
