Vincent Dazincourt is the son of Magloir Dazincourt and the brother of Aglae, Philippe's wife. He is a young man when he enters into an arrangement with Dolly Rose and fathers a daughter with her. He leaves for France for an education and on his return, he is told that his daughter has died. He attends the wake, only to be the center of Dolly's rage and another reason for her to be a cruel woman in the concerns of men. Later on, Anna Bella Monroe, with her calming beauty, enamors Vincent, and he makes arrangements to set her up in a house for him to call upon her at any time. Vincent truly loves her for her innocence and sweet nature, but once she becomes pregnant, he realizes that he is making the same mistake he has made before. He realizes the world that he is condemning his child to live in and despises himself for it.
