Protracted courtship or drawn-out seduction never seems to have appealed to the American male, for whom Stendhal's celebrated ten-year wait to achieve success with the wife of a Milan shopkeeper ("On Sept. 21 at half-past eleven," the novelist noted in his journal, "I won the victory I had so long desired") might appear something of a waste of time. American lovers are usually accused not only of wanting to win but of not exploiting their victories patiently enough...
