Howells and Henry Mills Alden gather American stories of love-making at its most idiosyncratic, introduced by Howells’s essay on why most courtships are so ordinary. Lovers meet again in an encore, a romance blooms at Whooping Harbor, and other tales turn on gray eyes, stiff conditions and a matchmaking scheme.
