Then the two third he danced with Miss King, and the two fourth with Maria Lucas, and the two fifth with Jane again, and the two sixth with Lizzy, and the _Boulanger_--" ================================== Thanks, Mircea |

| Hello M., At that time, dances were arranged in sets of two. So you would "book" a partner for the first two dances of the evening; then the next two dances; then the third set of two dances; and so on. Let me know if it's still obscure! All the best, MrP |
