How did you get on?

Henry.

First rate. Only mother won't let herself go. I kept on telling her there's only one thing to do in modern dancing—let all your bones go loose and leave the man to do the rest.

Christina.

[With a chuckle.] I think modern dancing is an abandoned pastime. Nothing will induce me to let all my bones go loose.

Henry.

Mother's idea of dancing is to keep herself to herself.

Christina.

[Looking at him affectionately.] You're an impudent boy.

Mrs. Appleby.
