Whereat the boy smiles and grins consumedly, as though charmed with his companion's metaphor, though in reality he understands it not at all. "But who was this gentleman?" says Lady Rodney, superciliously. "No doubt some draper from the town." "I shall be charmed," says Violet; "but what is a country dance? Will 'Sir Roger' do?".
