"And how do you mean to live?" said Mrs. Carter, impressed in spite of herself.
"We thought of going and dancing in the streets. This young person can dance most beautifully."

"It is," said Christian.
"And we mean to begin," continued Rose, "to-morrow morning."
"Oh, no, you don't!" said Mrs. Carter. "That would be dangerous."
"Dangerous or not, we are going to risk it," said Rosy.
"Yes, we're going to risk it," said Christian in a stout voice.
