Regency series: "When there were not men enough, women danced together."
I am glad you decided to come. I could not miss out on one last evening with you before I go.
"When there were not men enough, women danced together. At more informal occasions, dancers might be no more than nine or ten, or people with more than threescore years. Choosing partners bore great significance for young persons of marrying age, but for the very young, or for those already wed, nearly anyone might parner happily with anyone else."
-The Murder of Mr. Wickham by Claudia Gray, page 273
