And they do dance: though Pirate never could before, very well . . . they feel quite in
touch with all the others as they move, and if they are never to be at full ease, still

this dancing Preterition, and their faces, the dear, comical faces they have put on for
this ball, fade, as innocence fades, grimly flirtatious, and striving to be kind. . . .
