But she now dragged away from the great building and its lights, away from the voluptuous thunder of the grand piano, even at that moment outpouring the great joy of Weber's melody orchestrated by Berlioz: l'Invitation a la Valse, with its marvellous musical swing! "Waltzing!" cried the captain. "God help them! God help us all now! ... The Wind waltzes to-night, with the Sea for his partner!" ...

Five of my men were professional boatmen, but no one understood the management of paddles except myself. It was in vain that I attempted to instruct my crew. Pull they certainly did; but ye gods who watch over boats! round and round we pirouetted, the two canoes waltzing and polking together in their great ball-room, the Albert N'yanza. The voyage would have lasted ad infinitum.

He felt the whole power of her charms, the immediate force of the temptation; but he recollected who she was he recollected that she had not shown any instances of discretion which could redeem her from the consequences of a mother's disgrace: the songs he had heard from Miss Hauton's lips, Captain Bellamy and the waltzing, came full upon his mind.

Barker should thereafter be locked in a cellar at such times as she was serving me. Returning through the town, I heard strains of music from the establishment known as "Bert's Place," and was shocked on staring through his show window to observe the Honourable George and Cousin Egbert waltzing madly with the cow-persons, Hank and Buck, to the strains of a mechanical piano.

Under the pretence of adding a leaf to the chaplets, won by what he is pleased to tern 'diving dramatic genius, this 'Jules Duval' let me see, I would not libel an honourable name; yes, so it is signed this Jules Duval, this brainless, heartless, soulless Narcissus, with no larger sense of honour than could find ample waltzing room on the point of a cambric needle, insolently avows his real sentiments in language that your valet might address to his favourite grisette; and closes like some ardent accepted lover, with an audacious demand for my photograph, 'to wear for ever over his fond and loyal heart! That is fashionable homage to my genius it is?

Hadn't I better write and tell her that I know nothing about it?" But to this Lord George objected, requesting her altogether to hold her peace on the subject, and never even to speak about it to anyone. He was not good humoured with her, and this was clearly no occasion for asking him about the waltzing.

The confidence of both hearts was restored; and now the excitement of the dance, and the less zealous guardianship of Don Ambrosio, half drunk with wine, gave confidence to their eyes, and they gazed more boldly and frequently at one another. The ring of dancers whirling round the room passed close to where Carlos sat. It was a waltz. Catalina was waltzing with the beau Echevarria.

March, who turned her face away; and she excused herself with the pretence that she had promised the dance, and by good fortune, Burnamy, who had been unscrupulously waltzing with a lady he did not know, came up at the moment. She rose and put her hand on his arm, and they both bowed to the officer before they whirled away.

"Yes, on the terrace," said Le Brede, warmly. "A curtain of orange-trees will protect us from the vulgar gaze." "Oh! Mademoiselle, what a dream!" sighed Du Tremblay, approaching Suzanne. "Waltzing with you! By moonlight." "Yes, friend Pierrot!" sang Suzanne, bursting into a laugh.

"I never was made for waltzing," said Hugh, shaking his head. "Not to the tune of the north wind? That has done me good, Hugh." "So I should judge, by your cheeks." "Poverty need not always make people poor," said Fleda, talking breath and his arm together. "You and I are rich, Hugh." "And our riches cannot take to themselves wings and fly away," said Hugh.
