En 1841, se croyant trompée, la duchesse de Praslin chasse sa gouvernante Henriette Deluzy Desportes, sans lui donner de lettre de recommandations. Le duc entre dans une colère noire lorsqu’il apprend les conditions du licenciement d’Henriette. Peu après, la duchesse est retrouvée assassinée. Henriette est arrêtée, mais le roi Louis-Philippe ordonne le jugement du duc. Ce dernier s’empoisonne en innocentant Henriette.[1]
