"I hope you are enjoying yourself," she says, presently, hardly knowing what else to say. "One may choose to forget, but one may not be able to accomplish it. To forget or to remember is not in one's own power." Her eyes fall upon the hearthrug. Half under the fender a small piece of crumpled paper attracts her notice. Still talking, she stoops mechanically and picks it up, smooths it, and opens it. "I should think very few people would deem it a trouble to serve you," she says, graciously. "And perhaps, after all, you don't much care about dancing.".
