Gobseck: Large Print By Honore de Balzac La scène débute dans le salon de Mme de Grandlieu, en conversation avec un ami de la famille, l'avoué maître Derville. L'avoué entend, pendant la conversation de Mme de Grandlieu avec sa fille Camille, que celle-ci est amoureuse du jeune Ernest de Restaud, fils d'Anastasie de Restaud, née Goriot. Mme de Grandlieu désapprouve cet amour: la mère d'Ernest est dépensière, enlisée dans une relation illégitime avec Maxime de Trailles, pour lequel elle gaspille sa fortune. Derville intervient en faveur de Camille: il démontre qu'Ernest s'est vu attribuer depuis peu l'intégralité de l'héritage familial.
