Whether my resolution would have survived a dance with her I know not. When I went back to the hall to claim her I found I was too late: she was dancing with a young popinjay of Collingwood's regiment. I watched them gloomily, in high dudgeons, though 'twas my own fault, and I did not even get an opportunity of bidding her farewell.
Miss Owen herself would have said "love," rather than respects. But it was a great concession on the part of Miss Jemima to send anything at all to "those Dudgeons," with or without a message of any kind, and was quite a sign of grace. "It's very kind of Miss Horn," said Tommy, who was still perturbed; "and of you as well, miss. Perhaps you will see my sister-in-law?
"Yes," responded Miss Jemima, reluctantly; for she still retained her dislike for "those stupid Dudgeons." "Do you know, Jemima, I have it on my mind to send for Tommy at once, and ask him what he really meant." "Send for him to come in here?" "Yes; why not?" "Well, you must do as you like, I suppose."
