Synopsis: Une Brigitte de 18 ans dans l'heureuse quoique difficle après-guerre de 1914-18, c'est un rosier de printemps, mais un rosier 'cultivé dans un sage et calme jardin à la francaise'. Si elle admire Alain Doret, ami de son frère Yves, Alain flirteur et amateur de paradoxes, elle a beaucoup de bon sens et aime trop ce qui est beau pour rever longtemps à la suite d'un esprit faux.
