Excerpt from Merchant's Daughter, Vol. 1 of 3I will assert nothing that can make you vainer, spoilt boy and man as you have ever been, but unless you intend to amuse my guests with a pas seal, or enact the cavalier to four ladies at once, you must be con tented with conversation or talking, whichever it may be, provided we do not send you to Coventry for your presumption.No, - I shall dance, but adopt neither of the plans of which you speak, replied the young man with an assumed gravity of asser tion that amused all his hearers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
