"Why, I told you what it meant, ma'am. It meant that I wanted to dance—with you."
"Never!"
"But you're unjust to yourself. Honest, that's exactly what I came for, and it's exactly what I've done. And if you'll only let me have one more dance"—a hesitation—"I'll do almost any thing in the world for you. Yes, I'll give you a free ride in my launch."
Rosalind shuddered.
"You came here for another purpose," she said.
"I see it's no use trying to make you believe," sighed Sam.
"You will be thrown out if the servants find you."
"That's a risk, of course. But it's worth it—for a dance, ma'am."
"You may even be arrested."
"That's possible, too—but I've had one dance anyway."
