Excerpt: ... her warm little hands upon mine. "And Jamie!" she purred. "Have you forgotten little Enid altogether? Won't-won't YOU come down and dance?" "I-I can't!" I exploded, in agony. "I don't know how!" And I thought that I would never dare trust myself with her glistening shoulders clasped close to me, with her slim bare arm placed around my neck as I had watched it slip about the collar of Millard.
