Captain Dan waited hopefully for the result of that interview. The hope was crushed when Serena reported to him. "It is all right, Daniel," said Mrs. Dott. "I guess Gertie didn't really mean what she said about taking lessons of the Dusante woman. She thought the dances graceful, and they were, of course.
Lake and Miss Canby " "And that twist and squirm, antique Greece disgrace of a Dusante woman don't forget her. Gertie, you stop now. Your ma knows " "Daddy, be still. Be still, I say! Mother, are you willing to give them up? And all our society! You say yourself I've heard you often that there is no society in Trumet. Give up our bridge lessons, and our dancing, and our teas, and "
What would Miss Dusante think? I had almost arranged to take dancing lessons of her. Think of Mr. Holway. Is there a young man like him in Trumet? Think of Cousin Percy!" That was quite enough. Serena rose, her eyes flashing. "Stop!" she cried. "Stop this minute! Gertrude Dott, your father and I are going back to Trumet and you are going with us." "Oh, no, I'm not. Why, Cousin Percy "
The Blacks and the Kellys and er that Miss Dusante! Oh, I adore them. I wouldn't leave such cultured people for anything. And you enjoy it so, Mother. You look so happy."

YOU didn't like that Greek dancin', did you?" Gertrude hesitated. Her cheeks were red and, for a moment, she seemed to find it difficult to speak. Then, after a quick look at her mother, she answered, calmly: "Like it! Why not, Daddy? It is all the rage, just as Mother says, and it is certainly graceful. I rather think I should like to learn it myself. I understand Miss Dusante gives lessons."
