"I'd rather be a wall-flower than dance with Sam Wilkins," one of these young women had said. "He not only can't dance, but, what is infinitely worse, he doesn't know that he can't dance, and as for his conversation well, give me silence." "You are perfectly right about that," said another.
"He was when we first met him," Hal replied. "But he seemed to be getting over it. He's worse than ever now." From their position, those upon the roof of the house could witness the effect of some of the great shells that were hurled into the opposing lines.
