"I must exchange a few words with our friend Louis Blanc, whom I see yonder, with others of our party, and then, dear, we will to our pillow. We are both weary. Au revoir!" "Edmond Edmond!" cried the lady, as her husband was going, "do you see Joliette and Louise in the redowa yonder?"
Lord Carteret's daughter listened icily, sent barbed shafts tipped with poison from her tongue in reply, danced with him once, and steadily refused to dance again. Sir Everard gave it up and went in search of Miss Hunsden, and was accepted by that young lady for a redowa. "I thought you would have asked me ages ago," said Harrie, with delicious frankness.
She snubs you in the most merciless manner, and you oh, what a penitent face you wore the last time you approached her! I thought she was a great deal too uplifted for flirting, but what do you call that with George Grosvenor?" "George Grosvenor is a very old friend. Here is our redowa, Miss Hunsden. Never mind Lady Louise." His arm encircled her waist, and away they flew.
Even the brilliant balls given by the opulent citizens of New York were eclipsed in luxury and splendor. There was the streaming of lamps and chandeliers, the swell of enchanting music, the whirl of the fascinating polka, redowa or mazurka, while throngs of richly attired and lovely women were constantly enhancing the magnificence of the scene by their arrival.
She showed him her ball book with demure satisfaction when he strolled instead of rushed up to claim her for the next, a glorious polka redowa. But his polite regrets didn't impose upon her, and when she galloped away with the Count, she saw Laurie sit down by her aunt with an actual expression of relief.
"Yes," replied Medora deliberately; "I'm dancing with Mr. Joyce." She handed Edith her card. Abner looked across to her with a startled, puzzled expression. "So you are," said Mrs. Whyland. "J-o-y-c-e," she read, and handed the card back. "I don't care for the redowa, anyway," Medora explained; "and I didn't want to dance with the man that was moving along in my direction to ask me.
The polka redowa and the polka mazourka are modifications of this step to different times. The galop is another fashionable dance this winter. It is very easy, and is danced to very quick music; it is inspiriting at the end of a ball. The minuet de la cour was first danced in the ancient province of Poitou, France.
"Yes, you do. I 've taught you the steps a dozen times. I 'm going to begin with a redowa, because the girls like it, and it 's better fun than square dances. Now, put on your gloves, and go and ask Polly like a gentleman." "Oh, thunder!" muttered Tom.
It is thoroughly French, bringing in the waltz, polka, schottische, mazurka, and redowa. Some of those Creole girls were the personification of grace in that dance. We knew of the ball before leaving home, and went prepared for it, but had not heard one word about the bal masque to be given by "The Army Social Club" at Mrs. Gordon's Tuesday evening.
His hair is auburn, not red, and he was very polite, and I had a delicious redowa with him." "He looked like a grasshopper in a fit when he did the new step. Laurie and I couldn't help laughing. Did you hear us?" "No, but it was very rude. What were you about all that time, hidden away there?" Jo told her adventures, and by the time she had finished they were at home.
