Amoureux de la jeune femme, il découvre que la conjuration cherche à vider la France de ses réserves d'or. Voyant Belval en plein désarroi dans cette lutte inégale, son ancienne ordonnance lui conseille de demander l’aide d’Arsène Lupin, pourtant réputé mort. - Summary by Bidou

Story
Cousin Betty (La Cousine Bette), published in serial format in 1846, was one of the last and greatest of Balzac's works. It was part of his long novel collection titled La Comédie Humaine. Set in mid-19th-century France, it tells the story of a woman who resents her position as a "poor relation." As we follow her schemes to bring ruin upon the more privileged members of her family, we see a society in transition. The stability and idealism of the old order give way to a new bourgeois world in which virtue is strangled in the struggle for power and money. In this novel, Balzac searchingly ...

Cousin Pons is one of the final works in Balzac's long novel series titled The Human Comedy. It was published in 1847, along with Cousin Betty, as one of a complementary pair of novels, collectively titled Poor Relations.
