Why it was broken off, and why it was renewed after a lapse of years, is part of quite a long love-story, which I do not think myself qualified to rehearse, distrusting my fitness for a sustained or involved narration; though I am persuaded that a skillful romancer could turn the courtship of Basil and Isabel March to excellent account.
Modeste Mignon, which was published in 1844 with the extra attraction of some of Auber's music in it is one of Balzac's brighter and lighter books, and reproduces part of his own last love-story more objectively treated than in Albert Savarus.
The affair was well enough as a love-story, but the conclusion looked like a pleasant satire on those authors who insist that their tales and novels shall have an agreeable ending;" and the professor indulged in a hearty laugh as he recalled the manner in which Satyavama had been brought back to life by the divinity in yellow paint.
On Thursday she not only failed to own up, but indulged anew.

How jolly it would be if the General and I could bring you together and have a wedding at headquarters!" "I could think of no greater happiness save that of seeing the end of the war," Jack answered. "The war! That is a little matter. I want to see a proper end to this love-story."
I shall talk with absolute certainty, and with unwavering confidence, about the sin of man, the love of God, the Cross of Christ.

It was widely circulated through all the journals of the North. The Anti-Slavery Society preserved it in a pamphlet.
"In what part?" he asked. "The love-story, principally," said the other. "You see, in that respect, you have simply thrown your chances away." "I don't understand," said he.
