"I should have liked to have practised with you in the passage," he said ruefully. "Still, there are other dances," Joan Whitworth suggested. "The one-step?" "That's going for a walk," said Harry Luttrell. "In an unusual attitude," Joan added demurely. "Do you know the fox-trot?" "A little." "The twinkle step?" "Not at all." "I might teach you that," Joan suggested. "Oh, do! Teach it me now!
The situation has become extreme and I must end it. It happened last night. Beverly-Jones took me aside while the others were dancing the fox-trot to the victrola on the piazza. "We're planning to have some rather good fun to-morrow night," he said, "something that will be a good deal more in your line than a lot of it, I'm afraid, has been up here.
And out on the smooth, hard turnpike Sam and I had one glorious fox-trot with only the surprised mule looking on. "Bring Pete out at about eleven. Your first pea is due to pod about noon. No, I must go now or never," said Sam as he shook me off when I clung and begged for another dance. He climbed up in the wagon. "Good night," he called.
He started off without another word, with his big army revolver in his hand. My teeth began to do a little fox-trot all by themselves. "Wait! Stop!" I shouted after him. "Don't go away!" He stopped and asked me what was wrong. "I I don't want to shoot a man! I don't want to shoot any man!" I tried to explain to him. "You probably won't have to," was his cool response.
She crossed herself expertly, and in almost the same movement swept her partner, not of the tallest, away in a fox-trot. She fox-trotted very well. Marjorie went on dancing, and hoping that Mr. Logan would go to bed and to sleep, or have a fit of nerves that would incapacitate him from further interfering with her.
With brimming eyes he sat beating time to the fox-trot measure while Merton Gill proved to all observers that his mastery of this dance would, if ever at all achieved, be only after long and discouraging effort. "You forget all about your feet," remarked the girl as they paused, swaying to the rhythm. "Remember the feet they're important in a dance. Now!
He paused, and Willa, too, was silent, but she feared that the very beating of her heart would be audible to his ears. The dreamy waltz had given way to the syncopation of a fox-trot, yet neither was aware of the passing minutes. "I was blind in Limasito!" he went on.
So they broke camp, utilizing the sorrel as a pack-horse there now were two extra saddles and bridles and set out, Stephen, of course, mounted upon Pat. Once more Pat found himself following an unmarked and desolate trail. Moving always at a walk now instead of the conventional fox-trot, he found his service, save for this and one other thing, identical with that under his previous masters.
She came humming a tune, a catchy tune I recognized it at once that the mandolins had tinkled in the Havana café, and from the mischievous curves about the corners of her mouth I knew that her mood was adorable. So I caught up the tune, whistling softly, and crossed to her holding out my hands. "It's a corking fox-trot," I said, for the moment stopping our orchestra. "Let's dance it!"
"Now, suh, would you consider a fox-trot, an' single-foot, an' rack, an' pace, an' amble, distinctions not worth distinguishin'? I assuah you, gentlemen, there was a time befo' I was afflicted in my hip, if you'll pardon me, Miss Tuck, when I was quite celebrated in Paduky for all those gaits; an in my opinion the Deacon's co'rect when he says that a ho'se of any position in society gets his gaits by his haid, an' not by his, ah, limbs, Miss Tuck.
