James and Matthew separated, Matthew to dance with Lucie, and James to speak to his parents. Cordelia saw them glance over toward her and looked away quickly; still, she was not at all surprised when James appeared a moment later in front of her, flashing a smile at his aunt and uncle.

“Miss Carstairs,” he said, with a slight bow in Cordelia’s direction. “Would you favor me with this dance?”

“It’s a waltz,” said Cordelia’s mother, before Cordelia could speak. “My daughter does not know how to waltz.”

Cordelia bit her lip. She certainly knew how to dance: her mother had engaged an expert instructor to teach her the quadrille and the lancer, the stately minuet and the cotilion.

“Oh, we do,” said Will. “We’re always speaking very sternly to our children about that very thing. ‘If you don’t throw yourself into situations headlong, James and Lucie, you can expect bread and water for supper again.’ ”

“I wasn't invited."
“That isn't true," Cordelia said. “Alastair, I was only going to go because you were!"
“I have decided that my invitation was sadly lost in the post." Alastair said with a dismissive wave of his hand. “I can entertain myself, Mother. Some of us have things to do and cannot be out cavorting at all hours."

“Oh, dear,” Tessa was saying. “We will try again, Mrs. Carstairs, truly. You deserve a real welcome to the London Enclave.”

Sona’s eyes sparkled. “So many young people learning Persian these days,” she said, as if highly entertained.

– Te meg mit keresel itt? – méltatlankodott Thomas.
– Itt lakom – vonta fel a sötét szemöldökét Alastair. – Thomas, hoztál nekem egy gyümölcskosarat?
– Nem – vágta rá Thomas mogorván. […] – Az édesanyádnak hoztam.
