Courtship & Comportment
It is a fact universally acknowledged, that these are topics of great interest to the young. Thus it is only natural that “C. & C.” salons are among the most perennially popular components of the Museion.

A Collection of Lessons in the Art of Randomness
on 9th April 1851 at 7:03 PMI honestly have no idea why I have frequented this venue, as I feel nought but disdain and occasionally mild amusement for this particular subject. Perhaps my visit was spurred by the sweeping generalization that adorns the title, but I cannot say for certain…

on 6th April 1851 at 9:28 PMI happen to find myself in the same state as Bibliophile. I actually try to avoid such matters, seeing the distress and weeping and wailing that they appear to bring to my peers.

Bibliophile
on 1st April 1851 at 7:51 PMProfessor Kuntz, your statement is actually not so much a fact as a generalization. While it is usually true, there are certainly exceptions. I, for example, happen to be young, yet I must confess I’ve yet to feel even the smallest iota of interest in the subject.

on 1st April 1851 at 7:45 PMAh spring! When a young man’s fancy turns to…well, we’ll not talk about what their minds turn to, shall we?
I have had a most satisfying day in regards to courtship, beginning with a lovely surprise of flowers and a proclamation of adoration, and continuing in the presence of a most charming young gentleman.
I believe the term, though somewhat vulgar, is “d’awww.”

Mademoiselle Swann of Cognac
on 1st April 1851 at 7:27 PMI am oft accused of adultery for my impolite affection towards other young ladies like myself; however, I cannot help being much too fond of a certain acquaintance, one Mlle. Dominique. It fills me with much ennui that she has already found interest in a young man quite some distance away. They shall be married by summer, I am sure, by the way they love.

Lord Pigsworth
on 1st April 1851 at 3:17 PMYours truly, being the foolish young bachelor that he is, has once again developed, as the youths say, an “infatuation” upon a certain young lady at my preparatory school. Alas, knowing well that graduation is nigh upon both of us, I feel it best to let the whole affair die away by itself.
