Readable bits of a 1910 booklet noting Porter Emerson Browne credited for a Springtime novelization with theatrical and literary ties. Copyright line appears, indicating early 20th century authorial work.
Madeleine de Valette meets her betrothed M Raoul de Valette in a somber room as Father O Mara and Aunt Marguerite guide her through introductions. She asks about happiness in marriage and wonders about love at first sight while learning to obey and please her future husband.
In a crowded scene a young woman spares a glance toward a door as Raoul de Velette discusses a plan to choose the date of his happiness. Aunt Marguerite hushes her, guiding her to watch down while the exchange unfolds.
Aunt Marguerite frets as M. Raoul de Valette appears and Madeleine names him "very nice and interesting." The talk turns to age and propriety as Madeleine, tired from the interview, drifts to sleep beside her aunt with thoughts of the charming visitor lingering.
Gilbert Steele visits the Valette home to see Madeleine and declares his engagement to Raoul. A romantic tension unfolds as Madeleine reveals she is promised to her cousin and faces the prospect of separation as Gilbert prepares to go to war.
