Chapter II
“Does it make you dizzy?” he asked, in a tone of great kindness. Then Catherine looked up at him; he was certainly beautiful, and not at all red. “Yes,” she said; she hardly knew why, for dancing had never made her dizzy. “Ah, well, in that case,” said Mr. Townsend, “we will sit still and talk. I will find a good place to sit.”
