And when she dances with him it is with evident reluctance, as he knows by the fact that she visibly shrinks from him when he encircles her waist with his arm. Sir Adrian, who has noticed none of these symptoms, going up to Dora, solicits her hand for this dance. "You are not engaged, I hope?" he says anxiously. It is a kind of wretched comfort to him to be near Florence's true friend.
