And the company too I always think that freshness and brilliancy of dress go as far as anything to brighten up a room. Look what a set of people are here the greater part of the women are dressed in dark silks really only fit for a morning. The place will be quite different by-and-by when the county families are in a little more force. Mr Preston made no reply. He had put his glass in his eye apparently for the purpose of watching the dancers. If its exact direction could have been ascertained it would have been found that he was looking intently and angrily at a flying figure in pink muslin many a one was gazing at Cynthia with intentness besides himself but no one in anger. Mrs Gibson was not so fine an observer as to read all this but here was a gentlemanly and handsome young man to whom she could prattle instead of either joining herself on to objectionable people or sitting all forlorn until the Towers party came. So she went on with her small remarks. You are not dancing Mr Preston No The partner I had engaged has made some mistake. I am waiting to have an explanation with her. Mrs Gibson was silent. An uncomfortable tide of recollections appeared to come over her she like Mr Preston watched Cynthia the dance was ended and she was walking round the room in easy unconcern as to what might await her. Presently her partner Mr Harry Cholmley brought her back to her seat. She took that vacant next to Mr Preston leaving that by her mother for Molly s occupation. The latter returned a moment afterwards to her place. Cynthia seemed entirely unconscious of Mr Preston s neighbourhood. Mrs Gibson leaned forwards and said to her daughter - Your last partner was a gentleman my dear. You are improving in your selection. I really was ashamed of you .
