The dancing was elegantly restrained. And yet the purpose of the evening—to snare a marital prospect—was, if anything, more obvious. Almost offensively so. Something businesslike about the way the dances were transacted, the young ladies’ time doled out in small measures. As though they were goods in a grocer’s shop to be sampled. Two ounces here and four ounces there.
