The first one I present you to will be Miss Tourneysee, the daughter of General Tourneysee. You must immediately ask her to dance; etiquette will require you to do so." "But," smiled Ishmael, "I am already engaged to dance the next set with Bee." "You verdant youth. So, probably, is she Miss Tourneysee, I mean engaged ten sets deep.
I didn't mean to tell a' untrue, Bee. I didn't like Martha asking me, 'cos it made me think of the beads I'd lost, and I thought p'raps I'd get them up again when I came home, but I can't.
