Another tent was impossible, as we had no money to buy one; so, as no suitable building could be obtained, there was nothing for it but for us to do our best out of doors. "After a time we secured an old dancing-room for Sunday Meetings.
He once said to me, "Sir, you are like a ghost: you never speak till you are spoken to ." Neither the Rev. Mr. Nisbet, the established minister, nor the Rev. Mr. Spooner, the episcopal minister, were in town. Before breakfast, we went and saw the town-hall, where is a good dancing-room, and other rooms for tea-drinking.
There was something beautiful almost in the strength and grace with which it had been delivered the breathless eagerness, the waiting, the end. Francis felt a touch upon his arm and looked around. A tall, sad-faced looking woman, whom he had noticed with a vague sense of familiarity in the dancing-room, was standing by his side. "You have forgotten me, Mr. Ledsam," she said.
When Lord Kew had left the dancing-room, Madame d'Ivry saw Stenio following him with fierce looks, and called back that bearded bard. "You were going to pursue M. de Kew," she said: "I knew you were. Sit down here, sir," and she patted him down on her seat with her fan. "Do you wish that I should call him back, madame?" said the poet, with the deepest tragic accents.
As for Lilly, she appeared to the world, in general, as gay as ever. I fancied I detected a slight listlessness as she accompanied her partner into the dancing-room for the sixth polka. It was no great help with me in talking to Annette, that I knew she was a fool. I won no thanks from Frank or Angelina when I manoeuvred that they should have a little flirtation in the library.
Just as she was leaving the dancing-room, she was stopped short by Betty Williams, who, with a face of terror, exclaimed, "'Tis a poy in the hall, that I tare not pass for my lifes; he has a pasket full of pees in his hand, and I cannot apide pees, ever since one tay when I was a chilt, and was stung on the nose by a pee.
They went back to Madame Uccelli, and to the other elderly ladies in the room that opened by archways upon the dancing-room. Imogene was on the floor, dancing not merely with unabated joy, but with a zest that seemed only to freshen from dance to dance. If she left the dance, it was to go out on her partner's arm to the supper-room. Colville could not decently keep on talking to Mrs.
But he saw that something had happened quite out of his line; and he did not venture on a single allusion to it as he led his partner back to the dancing-room, with a perplexed expression on his cheery face, which amused Flora intensely when she remarked it.
The girl turns to him, her whole young, generous heart in her voice. "Oh, I shall! I shall indeed!" They traverse the long balcony in silence. The moon is flooding it with brilliant light. Here and there are groups in twos or threes the twos are most popular. Just as they come to the entrance to the dancing-room, an alcove now deserted, Tita stops short and looks at him.
"It is a pasket full of pees! I saw the pees with my own eyes." The noise she made excited the curiosity of the young ladies in the dancing-room: they looked out to see what was the matter. "Oh, 'tis the wee-wee French prisoner boy, with the bee orchises for us there, I see him standing in the hall," cried Clara Hope, and instantly she ran, followed by several of her companions, into the hall.
