Two ordinary mortals are visited in turn by L'Amour and La Perversité. A chance encounter in the street leads to infatuation; annoyance; a sceptical younger brother; indifference and ending with a happy fairy tale marriage. Personification of qualities of gods mixed with touches of Hans Christian Andersen. (PB)
