The Abbé de Grancey moves easily between the Archbishop's palace and Madame de Watteville's drawing-room, welcomed everywhere for his wit and trusted for his judgment. It is he who discovers the obscure advocate Savaron and stakes the Chapter's case on him, then returns to the Hôtel de Rupt to tell the story that makes the whole town curious about the stranger next door. Worldly, generous, and a little vain of his own cleverness, he is the hinge connecting the novel's religious politics to its private drama.
