Dear Brutus
Jm. Barrie
The Romantic Age
by A.A. Milne
Synopsis
Romantic Melisande Knowle, meeting the hero of her dreams, thinks he is her knight come to claim a lily maid.
Alas!
He is but Gervase Mallory, a stockbroker, on his way to a ball.
She goes to bed, dreaming that he is rescuing her from dragons; he goes to spend the night not at the ball, but in an obstinate motorcar in a wood.
Early in the morning Melisande wanders to the wood and meets her knight again.
He promises to come for her that afternoon to carry her off.
He comes, indeed - an ordinary man - once again Mr. Mallory of the Stock Exchange.
Melisande suffers agonies, but Mallory shows that romance can exist even on the Exchange.
