Robert Lebrun, son of Madame Lebrun, is the man Edna falls in love with during her summer at Grand Isle. Robert is a notorious flirt, something Edna doesn't seem to be aware of. Over time, however, Robert becomes aware of the remifications of their affair and leaves for Mexico, hoping to avoid scandal or the ruination of his reputation. Unlike Edna, he still cares about what people think of him.
