 Mr. Miller, if I had not danced with you, but

 on a good floor, accompanied by a really good 

 band such as this is ? I am quite sure that none 

 of Miss Lancelot's partners can dance better 

 than, if as well as, you do.' 



Reginald, however, refused to be drawn, and 

 Mrs. Danby, at the conclusion of their dance, 

 told her husband that though a beautiful dancer, 

 Mr. Miller was really the stupidest man in a 

 ballroom that she had ever come across. 



' I wonder what is up between him and 

 Miss Lancelot,' said Ray Danby.
