Balzac, Honoré de: A Study of Woman, v1, 29 Aug 2007.
Honoré de Balzac: A Study of Woman
(Étude de femme) Translated by Katharine Prescott Wormeley. A short story of about 3,400 words. This is a story with a moral: be very careful that you address your letters correctly. Do not, under any circumstances, send a letter intended for your mistress to a woman whose virtue is renowned. When she reads the novel salutation: “Dear angel of love, treasure of my life and happiness--” it is likely to result in mixed feelings. Moreover, if you allow the error to go uncorrected for a couple of days, the consequences will be even more embarrassing. There now. You have been warned.
