## Snapshot

The gentle parish priest whose quiet authority and genuine kindness make him Ursule's trusted confidant and a moral counterweight to the town's avarice.

## Who they are

Abbé Chaperon moves through Nemours with the unassuming dignity of a man whose power lies in persuasion rather than position. He is one of the few figures who treats Ursule with genuine respect, offering her the spiritual guidance and emotional steadiness her uncertain social standing demands. In a novel where the Church often serves ambition, Chaperon's disinterested goodness makes him a rare moral touchstone for the early and middle stretches of the story.
