He was going to the door, and she went with him quickly. She leaned her shoulder against it; it seemed to her that she would do anything to keep him. "If I am prevented from coming to-morrow, you will say I have deceived you!" he said. "How can you be prevented? You can come if you will." "I am a busy man I am not a dangler!" cried Morris sternly.
At one time he seems to be sinking into the mere abject dangler after Amelia; but he breaks his chains like a man, and resumes them again like a man, too, although half disenchanted of his amiable delusion.

We have a sort of national regard for propriety, which deters a female from lingering on the confines of gallantry, when age has warned her to withdraw; and an old woman that should take a passionate and exclusive interest about a young man not related to her, would become at least an object of ridicule, if not of censure: yet in France nothing is more common; every old woman appropriates some youthful dangler, and, what is extraordinary, his attentions are not distinguishable from those he would pay to a younger object.
