"Oh, yes!" he replied, a little vaguely.
She looked at him for a few moments, and then went on. "If you were to lead off," she suggested.
"Me? But I can't dance!..."
"You can't dance!"
"No," he continued. "Somehow, I've never learnt to dance!" She looked disappointed. "I thought mebbe you an' me 'ud lead off," she said.
"I'm sorry," he replied. "Perhaps Mr. Quinn can dance!..."
Henry gave his arm to her and they walked off, to begin the slow procession round the room until all the couples were ready.
"I think Mr. Marsh is the only one in the place that can't dance," Sheila said, as she placed her hand on Henry's shoulder.
He put his arm round her waist and they moved off in the dance. "I suppose he is," he answered.
