"This is my first hop," Dick said, smilingly.
"Mine, too," affirmed Anstey.
"Gracious!" laughed Belle merrily. "I hope you both know how to dance."
"We put in weary lessons as plebes, under the dancing master," laughed Dick.
"But you danced well in Gridley," protested Laura.
"Thank you. But the style is a bit different at West Point."
"You make me uneasy," pouted Belle.
"Then that uneasiness will vanish by the time you are half through with the first number."
"There comes Mr. Holmes," discovered Laura. "What a remarkably pretty girl with him."
"Mr. Griffin's sister," said Dick.
