Just
then
the
merry-go-round
stopped
and
without
any
plan
or
suggestion
they
seemed
instinctively
to
drift
to
the
side
of
the
pavilion
where
the
dancers
--
not
many
but
avid
--
were
moving
briskly
around
.
Fox-trots
and
one-steps
were
being
supplied
by
an
orchestrelle
of
considerable
size
.
At
a
turnstile
,
all
the
remaining
portions
of
the
pavilion
being
screened
in
,
a
pretty
concessionaire
was
sitting
and
taking
tickets
--
ten
cents
per
dance
per
couple
.
But
the
color
and
the
music
and
the
motions
of
the
dancers
gliding
rhythmically
here
and
there
quite
seized
upon
both
Clyde
and
Roberta
.
The
orchestrelle
stopped
and
the
dancers
were
coming
out
.
But
no
sooner
were
they
out
than
five-cent
admission
checks
were
once
more
sold
for
the
new
dance
.
"
I
do
n't
believe
I
can
,
"
pleaded
Roberta
,
as
Clyde
led
her
to
the
ticket-stile
.
"
I
'm
afraid
I
'm
too
awkward
,
maybe
.
I
never
danced
,
you
know
.
"
"
You
awkward
,
Roberta
,
"
he
exclaimed
.
"
Oh
,
how
crazy
.
Why
,
you
're
as
graceful
and
pretty
as
you
can
be
.
You
'll
see
.
You
'll
be
a
wonderful
dancer
.
"
Already
he
had
paid
the
coin
and
they
were
inside
.
Carried
away
by
a
bravado
which
was
three-fourths
her
conception
of
him
as
a
member
of
the
Lycurgus
upper
crust
and
possessor
of
means
and
position
,
he
led
the
way
into
a
corner
and
began
at
once
to
illustrate
the
respective
movements
.
They
were
not
difficult
and
for
a
girl
of
Roberta
's
natural
grace
and
zest
,
easy
.
Once
the
music
started
and
Clyde
drew
her
to
him
,
she
fell
into
the
positions
and
steps
without
effort
,
and
they
moved
rhythmically
and
instinctively
together
.
It
was
the
delightful
sensation
of
being
held
by
him
and
guided
here
and
there
that
so
appealed
to
her
--
the
wonderful
rhythm
of
his
body
coinciding
with
hers
.
"
Oh
,
you
darling
,
"
he
whispered
.
"
Are
n't
you
the
dandy
little
dancer
,
though
.
You
've
caught
on
already
.
If
you
are
n't
the
wonderful
kid
.
I
can
hardly
believe
it
.
"
They
went
about
the
floor
once
more
,
then
a
third
time
,
before
the
music
stopped
and
by
the
time
it
did
,
Roberta
was
lost
in
a
sense
of
delight
such
as
had
never
come
to
her
before
.
To
think
she
had
been
dancing
!
And
it
should
be
so
wonderful
!
And
with
Clyde
!
He
was
so
slim
,
graceful
--
quite
the
handsomest
of
any
of
the
young
men
on
the
floor
,
she
thought
.
And
he
,
in
turn
,
was
now
thinking
that
never
had
he
known
any
one
as
sweet
as
Roberta
.
She
was
so
gay
and
winsome
and
yielding
.
She
would
not
try
to
work
him
for
anything
.
And
as
for
Sondra
Finchley
,
well
,
she
had
ignored
him
and
he
might
as
well
dismiss
her
from
his
mind
--
and
yet
even
here
,
and
with
Roberta
,
he
could
not
quite
forget
her
.
