5 Tell him I hope he will excuse me when he knows all; and tell him I will dance with him at the next ball we meet, with great pleasure.
6 She danced four dances with him at Meryton; she saw him one morning at his own house, and has since dined with him in company four times.
7 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.
