But it was a wonderful dance,--exquisite, poetic, all that is beautiful.

I went in, reminded Sam of our old acquaintance, and he welcomed me decently, if not over-cordially.

I saw one or two numbers on the program before yours, and I concluded I didn't want you mixed up with that bunch.

They're right enough, but their unconventionality and ultra Bohemianism are not the element in which Patty Fairfield belongs.
Then came your dance.

Unspeakably lovely, all that it ought to be, but not for that herd of idiots! So, I made up my mind I'd persuade you to go home with me,--pretty much instanter! I told Blaney I intended to take you.
