Does anyone recognise this short story by Guy de Maupassant, and if so can they give me the title, please? A couple, only acquainted, go for a carriage drive. They get lost or somehow delayed and have to stay overnight at an inn (sleeping separately). When they return, everyone is so scandalised (nineteenth century France) they they are obliged to marry, apparently reluctantly on both their parts. But, as soon as they are legitimately alone they fall passionately in love.
