""The Triumph of Youth"" or ""The White Mouse"" is a comedic play in three acts written by French playwright Edouard Pailleron and originally published in 1907. The story revolves around the character of Am?????d?????e, a wealthy and aging bachelor who becomes infatuated with a young woman named H?????l?????ne, known as the ""White Mouse"" for her shy and timid demeanor. Despite H?????l?????ne's initial reluctance, Am?????d?????e pursues her relentlessly, much to the amusement of his friends and the consternation of H?????l?????ne's father. As the plot unfolds, various characters become entangled in the romantic drama, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and misadventures. Ultimately, the play explores themes of love, youth, and the follies of age.
