So the captain was compelled to treat them more amiably than usual. At the very outside their contract would only be for nine months.
You've danced with her nearly all the evening." "She's bin middling kind to me, missus, showing me the steps and hops." "Oh, well, since you've promised you must pay." She turned her back on him, then suddenly smarted at her own pettishness. "You've the makings of a good dancer in you, if you'll learn," she said over her shoulder. "I'm glad Martha's teaching you."
