Rowland perceived at this moment that the people about them were beginning to return to the dancing-room, and immediately afterwards he saw Roderick making his way toward themselves. Roderick presented himself before Miss Light. "I don't claim that you have promised me the cotillon," he said, "but I consider that you have given me hopes which warrant the confidence that you will dance with me."
Baron Alfred Rothschild offered to take us out there in his coach and-four. We dined first with the Baron Meyer Rothschild, and afterward drove out to Strawberry Hill. It is the most beautiful place you can imagine. I never saw anything so grand as the cedar-trees. The cotillon lasted very late; the Duke of Saxe-Weimar talked a long time with me, mostly about music.
Very innocently she told him that Jack Ruthven was leading the Chinese Cotillon with Mrs. Delmour-Carnes from one end, Gerald Erroll with Gladys from the other a hint that a card ought to be easy enough to obtain in spite of the strangely forgetful Orchils.
What did it matter to that girl, who was so dirty, so stupid, so utterly neglected, even if she did go down to the bottom? It was of no importance to her. And he he must go to the ball. Böhnke dreamt that night of the beautiful Mrs. Tiralla. She wore a silk dress, and had given him a decoration in the cotillon. He stretched out an eager hand, and she pinned the gold paper-star on his breast.
The boys fairly screamed with laughter at this exhibition, and Uncle Jake was so overcome that he felt called upon to take another dram a contingency that was renewed when Tip swung from the measure of a cotillon to that of a breakdown, singing "I hain't bin a-wantin' no mo' wines mo' wines Sence daddy got drunk on low wines low wines." "Come, Tip," said Teague, "yess shet up shop.
"This is intolerable," said Giovanni, suddenly. "You are not engaged for the last quadrille? Shall we not go away until the cotillon begins?" Corona hesitated a moment, and was silent. She glanced once at Giovanni, and again surveyed the moving crowd. "Yes," she said at last; "let us go away." "You are very good," answered Giovanni in a low voice, as he offered her his arm.
Leading the cotillon last night has turned your head. Take my advice, however an old man's advice stick to your dancing. You understand that. Every man has his forte yours is the ballroom." Baldassare smiled complaisantly at this allusion to the swiftness of his heels. "Out of the ballroom," continued Trenta, eying him with quiet scorn, "I advise caution great caution.
"Oh, that will be delightful, mother, but Edward and I cannot dance a cotillon alone." "No, but we are not going to a desert. There are enough clever children in the neighborhood, who will form a set with you; and now, Julia, that I see by your brightened eye, that you think the affliction of leaving the dancing-school will be alleviated, what is the next subject of your regret?"
Come and join me in the little Saloon of the Mirrors by and by, during the Cotillon. We shall be able to talk there at our ease." Pierre nodded, and thereupon the prelate discreetly withdrew and disappeared in the crowd.
'Now, said he, 'I've got a story for you. Do you remember the cotillon, or whatever it was, that Cooke gave? Well, that was all in the Chicago papers, and the "Miles Standish" agent there saw it, and he knew pretty well that I wasn't West. So he sent me the papers, just for fun.
