Such was her criticism of life as she sat wearily answering Mrs. Gould's
tiresome questions, not daring to approach her mother, who was laughing
with Olive, Captain Hibbert, and Lord Dungory. Waltz after waltz had
been played, and her ears reeked with their crying strain. One or two
men had asked her 'if they might have the pleasure'; but she was
determined to try dancing no more, and had refused them. At last, at the
earnest request of Mrs. Gould, she had allowed Dr. Reed to take her in

crushed bird within the circle of his terrible arm. Like a collier
labouring in a heavy sea, a county doctor lurched from side to side,
overpowered by the fattest of the Miss Duffys. A thin, trim youth, with
bright eyes glancing hither and thither, executed a complex step, and
glided with surprising dexterity in and out, and through this rushing
