Excerpt from Modeste Mignon: And Other Stories Perhaps it should be added that the practice of corre spondcnce between incognitas and men of letters, not unknown in any country, has been rather frequent and famous in France. The chief example is, of course, that interchange of communications between Mériméc and Mlle. Jenny Dacquin, which had such important results for literature, and such not unimportant ones for the parties concerned. Balzac himself rejoiced in a Modeste called Louise, whom, however, he seems never to have seen, and there is little doubt that Lamartine the actual was attacked, as the fictitious Canalis boasts that he was, by scores of such persons. The chief instance I can think of in. Which such a correspondence led to matrimony was that of Southey and his second wife Caroline Bowles.
