I liked this little story, as far as it went, but I was surprised that it was so short.  It read to me like the opening chapters of a much longer novel.  Young gentleman with very little money meets pretty young lady from a more affluent family and finds that they have similar taste and temperatment.  It stops there.  There's nothing about what happens after that.  Does she marry a poor man and learn to scrape by?  Or does she bring a little money to the union and then wonder if he was a fortune hunter?  How does he feel about outsiders thinking he is a fortune hunter?  How do their families react?  Does their relationship survive the difficult adjustments in any marriage but especially in an unequal match?  And why leave it there?  So though it was sweet, I was left feeling disappointed.
