When Friends Play Cupid

Kin and friends and other folk thought they were suited,
a perfect match in their station and in temperament.
He was too proud to admit them right;
she too haughty for the same reason.
How could others ever know them
so much better than themselves?
It took "chance" encounters
to prove them
most happily
wrong.

I really like this. I'm not normally one for very short stories, but you manage to tell so much with just a few well-chosen words. There's such a wealth of story suggested by these lines.

For some reason, the whole set-up makes me think of Jane Austen. It makes me want to read a novel about their courtship written in the style of a Regency comedy of manners. :-D
