And, grasping his arm, she propelled

little rush.
SO passed five danees-long, long
dances.
Likewise i've encores-long encOres
After each dance Miss Boke conduct
ed him back TO the maple tree, aloof
from the general throng, and William
found the intermissions almost equal
to his martyrdom upon the platform

him TO the platform for the sixth time

were over she went TO lean against a

she did not notice william. though she
passed near enough to watt a breath
OF toilet scent to his wan nose. A
