Josephine bit her lip, sighed deeply, and did her best to pretend to enjoy this ridiculous ball. Apparently she succeeded better she thought, as she was given few chances to sit down. One young man had traveled all the way from Canton along with his uncle, but she liked the older man much better. She could not possibly think as well of the nephew as he did of himself.

            Mr. Dominic was nowhere to be seen. This was unfortunate. She had hoped that seeing her so popular would move him to act. She had also been looking forward to skewering the other guests with him; as long as they did so in Latin or Greek she felt fairly safe from anyone who might overhear.

            Unfortunately, he did not show up for the supper dance.
