A miser in a provincial town has a fortune nobody suspects and a daughter whose whole inheritance he intends to keep from her; then a bankrupt cousin arrives from Paris with good manners. Balzac wrote it in 1833 and made cheeseparing into tragedy: every candle counted, every sou hoarded, and a life spent in one room.
