Whenever, however, he had omitted to leave behind the three one-franc pieces and found a dinner awaiting him all the same, he grew as merry as a sandboy, kissed Nana gallantly and waltzed with the chairs. And she was so charmed by this conduct that she at length got to hope that nothing would be found on the chest of drawers, despite the difficulty she experienced in making both ends meet.
She waltzed about, humming the snatch of melody that Mandy had heard the morning that Polly first woke in the parsonage. "Ting, ling. That's how the bells ring, Ting, ling, pretty young thing." She paused, her hands clasped behind her head, and gazed at them with a brave, little smile. "Oh, it's going to be fine! Fine!" "You don't know what you're doing," said Douglas.
She put on a weak smile. "Can we go to the opera?" she asked softly. Jenny's enthusiasm for opera was phenomenal. She must have inherited that from my mother, too I always thought half the reason she went back to Milan was because they did too many German operas in San Francisco. "Only if you can drag Grandma along." I picked up the salad and two bowls, then waltzed away toward the dining room.
He seized them round the waist and waltzed with them out over the field, high up into the air, and into the wood again, swept them into great heaps, and then scattered them in all directions just as it pleased him. Not till morning came did the Storm grow weary and lie down to rest. "Now you shall have peace for a time," he said. "I will take a rest till we have the spring cleaning.
Glenn asked, presently, with his thoughtful eyes turning to her. "Of course. I like dancing, and it's about all the exercise I get," she replied. "Have the dances changed again?" "It's the music, perhaps, that changes the dancing. Jazz is becoming popular. And about all the crowd dances now is an infinite variation of fox-trot." "No waltzing?" "I don't believe I waltzed once this winter." "Jazz?
Then something compelled him to say: "Do you know, it's the first time I've ever waltzed in my life, except in a lesson, you know?" "Really!" she murmured. "You pick things up easily, I suppose?" "Yes," he said. "Do you?" Either the question or the tone sent the Countess off into carillons of amusement. Everybody could see that Denry had made the Countess laugh tremendously.
There was sung a cantata entitled Ossian's Dream. The young men of the National Guard of Lyons and the leading ladies of the city waltzed before the throne. Two young girls held each a basket into which the dancers threw flowers as they passed by; out of these flowers the girls wove two crowns which, after the dance, they presented to the Emperor and Empress.
A certain Captain Weisspriess, of the regiment named after a sagacious monarch whose crown was the sole flourishing blossom of diplomacy, particularly distinguished himself by insisting that a lady should remember him in public places. He was famous for skill with his weapons. He waltzed admirably; erect as under his Field-Marshal's eye.
Cap'n says them paddles would hev' just snatched 'em and slung 'em round and round and buried 'em way down in the ooze of the river bed, with all the silt of the current atop of 'em, and they mightn't come up for ages; or else the wheels might have waltzed 'em way up to Sacramento until there wasn't enough left of 'em to float, and dropped 'em when the boat stopped."
Strangers are presented with tickets for these amusements no thanks to the Spaniards but from the kindness of the English merchants, who are nearly all members. I went to one of these balls: there were plenty of women more than could get partners; the music was good, the women well dressed, and they waltzed exquisitely.
