Every time they met, it was more decided and remarkable. At his own ball he offended two or three young ladies, by not asking them to dance; and I spoke to him twice myself, without receiving an answer.
Au bal qu’il a donné chez lui, il a froissé plusieurs jeunes filles en oubliant de les inviter a danser, et moi-meme ce jour-la je lui ai adressé deux fois la parole sans qu’il eut l’air de m’entendre.
