They both give birth to a child, Sophie to a baby girl she names Virginie and Marguerite to Paul, a baby boy. The two children are brought up together and grow like brother and sister amidst the luscious nature of the island, far from the class prejudices prevailing in France. As time goes by, Virginie changes into a beautiful young lady while Paul turns into a young man. Brotherly love gives way to love tout court...
