[To Violet.] I do wish I'd seen you dancing with Mr. Parry. He's a wonderful dancer.

Violet.

He does dance well, doesn't he?

Henry.

Haven't you danced with him to-night, Violet?

Violet.

No. He came rather late and my card was filled up. I promised him an extra, but some stuffy old diplomatist came and asked me for a dance, so I gave him Ronny's.

Mrs. Appleby.

It's too bad. It must be a rare sight to see you and Mr. Parry waltzing together.

Violet.
