"Good gracious!" said Hannah, starting up with a blush. "Everybody's going back. They will think us greedy. What a pair of fools we are to have got into such serious conversation at a ball."
"Was it serious?" said David with a retrospective air. "Well, I never enjoyed a conversation so much in my life."
"You mean the supper," Hannah said lightly.
"Well, both. It's your fault that we don't behave more appropriately."
"How do you mean?"
"You won't dance."
"Do you want to?"
"Rather."
"I thought you were afraid of all the swells."
"Supper has given me courage."
