User-Contributed Transcription 64/he was quite clever, & as he did not dance we sat through the next lancers. It was near ten when up comes Jay & asks me for the next, I accepted in good faith, but when we reached the other room we found no one knew how to dance the basket cotillion, & so we talked instead. Jay wished to know if he might have "the pleasure of escorting me home." I said he might, & we were very jolly. At ten several people took their leave, but the rest had no intention of stirring, being very happy & comfortable; when Jay out of pure mischief wishing to start them told the man to play a march, & of course we had to all go. Jay gave me his arm, & we sailed out as if he were thirty, & I twenty at least. As Seth had come with Jay, he came with us in the carriage, & we had a very jolly ride home; Marie was there so it was perfectly proper. They were the two best looking youths there, & I really liked them quite well. I had a lovely time & enjoyed the party very much.
