A small unit, all equally destitute, though sharing in a rich history. The father, De Lacey, was a wealthy Parisian man, with his children, Agatha and Felix, also sharing in that pleasure. 

The other young woman, Safie, who arrives after some time, is the daughter of a Turk and essentially bound for slavery until she found the family in their German shack after Felix, still respected, orchestrated her imprisoned father’s escape. The discovery of the plot led to the exile of the family and their current status as peasantry.
