This
was
the
last
sentence
by
which
he
could
weary
Catherine
’
s
attention
,
for
he
was
just
then
borne
off
by
the
resistless
pressure
of
a
long
string
of
passing
ladies
.
Her
partner
now
drew
near
,
and
said
,
“
That
gentleman
would
have
put
me
out
of
patience
,
had
he
stayed
with
you
half
a
minute
longer
.
He
has
no
business
to
withdraw
the
attention
of
my
partner
from
me
.
We
have
entered
into
a
contract
of
mutual
agreeableness
for
the
space
of
an
evening
,
and
all
our
agreeableness
belongs
solely
to
each
other
for
that
time
.
Nobody
can
fasten
themselves
on
the
notice
of
one
,
without
injuring
the
rights
of
the
other
.
I
consider
a
country
-
dance
as
an
emblem
of
marriage
.
Fidelity
and
complaisance
are
the
principal
duties
of
both
;
and
those
men
who
do
not
choose
to
dance
or
marry
themselves
,
have
no
business
with
the
partners
or
wives
of
their
neighbours
.
”
“
But
they
are
such
very
different
things
!
”
“
—
That
you
think
they
cannot
be
compared
together
.
”
“
To
be
sure
not
.
People
that
marry
can
never
part
,
but
must
go
and
keep
house
together
.
People
that
dance
only
stand
opposite
each
other
in
a
long
room
for
half
an
hour
.
”
“
And
such
is
your
definition
of
matrimony
and
dancing
.
Taken
in
that
light
certainly
,
their
resemblance
is
not
striking
;
but
I
think
I
could
place
them
in
such
a
view
.
You
will
allow
,
that
in
both
,
man
has
the
advantage
of
choice
,
woman
only
the
power
of
refusal
;
that
in
both
,
it
is
an
engagement
between
man
and
woman
,
formed
for
the
advantage
of
each
;
and
that
when
once
entered
into
,
they
belong
exclusively
to
each
other
till
the
moment
of
its
dissolution
;
that
it
is
their
duty
,
each
to
endeavour
to
give
the
other
no
cause
for
wishing
that
he
or
she
had
bestowed
themselves
elsewhere
,
and
their
best
interest
to
keep
their
own
imaginations
from
wandering
towards
the
perfections
of
their
neighbours
,
or
fancying
that
they
should
have
been
better
off
with
anyone
else
.
You
will
allow
all
this
?
”
“
Yes
,
to
be
sure
,
as
you
state
it
,
all
this
sounds
very
well
;
but
still
they
are
so
very
different
.
I
cannot
look
upon
them
at
all
in
the
same
light
,
nor
think
the
same
duties
belong
to
them
.
”
“
In
one
respect
,
there
certainly
is
a
difference
.
In
marriage
,
the
man
is
supposed
to
provide
for
the
support
of
the
woman
,
the
woman
to
make
the
home
agreeable
to
the
man
;
he
is
to
purvey
,
and
she
is
to
smile
.
But
in
dancing
,
their
duties
are
exactly
changed
;
the
agreeableness
,
the
compliance
are
expected
from
him
,
while
she
furnishes
the
fan
and
the
lavender
water
.
That
,
I
suppose
,
was
the
difference
of
duties
which
struck
you
,
as
rendering
the
conditions
incapable
of
comparison
.
”
“
No
,
indeed
,
I
never
thought
of
that
.
”
“
Then
I
am
quite
at
a
loss
.
One
thing
,
however
,
I
must
observe
.
This
disposition
on
your
side
is
rather
alarming
.
