Humor. Eugenics--between 2000 and 2150 marriage was prohibited to the unfit and required of the fit. A man required to marry is unhappy with the choices available and runs away, where he meets a woman who had also run away after rejecting her choices. The illustrations depict a far from fit man and an attractive woman, but the illustrations do not fit the story.
