I have danced more than I ever did in my life before; and now we are so tired of frivolity that if any one ventures to strum a waltz or propose a game, we all protest.

They were waiting for something that was coming from the farther shore of the little cove. Presently the glistening surface of the water was ruffled by a black object that pushed out from the shore.
