"What waltz were you playing? What waltz were you playing?"
"Waltz Romantic." Next time look out who you punch.”
Ellen laughed joyously and with
a disgusted glance at her, he began to pick at his strings again. A mo- ment later the lights went out--all except a round moon over the or- chestra.
As the room, filled with miaty, jblüteh light and the piano began to tinkle, the dancers crowded to the floor. Ellen was wildly impatient to be dancing. What if Larry Smith were unable to find her? Had he noticed that she had withdrawn? She turned to see him coming to ward her through the bluish dusk. As he drew near she thought that she had never been so happy in her life."
