The young Lola Gabriel with the trained alto voice loves the very reserved German Arnold Acton. But the sensual blonde girl falls for the Hasardeur Graf Pardi from Florence. Marriage to him fails, and the sober young woman finds her first love.Lola has lived in Germany since childhood, sheltered and faithfully cared for by the young maiden Ernestine, separated from her parents. When the father died in Brazil, Lola was sixteen years old. Lola's mother, the "dark, soft beauty", comes from Rio and Erneste has had its day. Mai and Lola travel the world. Paolo earns the money in South America and occasionally sends some of it to the two women.The young Countess Lola, the Contessa Pardi, is now under the guardianship of the husband. He takes her to his palace in San Gregorio in Campagna near Spello. The marriage is being carried out. Pardi has what he wanted and wants more. Lola learns of women in San Gregorio - the count had many lovers there. Pardi and his drinking buddies were not squeamish with one of these women. There is talk of flogging. Another of these former lovers, she is married, has a child from Pardi and still loves the count. Lola initiates the secrets of lust. That's what it's all about - Pardi's seduction of Lola to lust. Heinrich Mann does not describe this directly, but treats himself. What "carnal madness" is meant when Lola's "profaned mouth" is told? All in all: Lola, portrayed by the "pleasure-loving" woman who still craves Pardi, is seduced. Pricked up "of elegance and crudeness", she does almost everything in bed and in the dark palace garden, "desirably excited". Pardi's seduction succeeds completely. Lola reaches the "summit of lust" under "cheeky love cries" and has to fight against evil desires. She plays with the thought of letting the children in the palace be hit by the servant.
