Set in England the story commences with three friends from Cambridge University making a trip up the Rhine River to Heidelburg to practice the German language. On the trip the hero, Henry Mazarine, met a young woman, fell in love and soon married her. The story was about their marriage. The intelligent wife was bored with the life as the mistress of a well to do household. She was discontented with nothing to do so she got into mischief writing and sending anonymous letters to herself implicating her husband's best friend.

A story which displayed some of Lang's knowledge of legal practice with a hint of a detective story. It is one of Lang's first stories predicating his interest in the plight of women condemned to live a life without any outlet for their intelligence.

Mazarine was first produced as a serial in The Mofussilite (India) 1845 and repeated in the same journal in 1861.
