First Line: They had whirled around in the steps of the waltz
Last Line: "this attachment is mutual, you know."
Subject(s): Flirtation; Love - Beginnings


THEY had whirled around in the steps of the waltz,
And dismay had spread o'er his face,
For he found just then at the end of the dance
A button was caught in her lace.

He colored, and then in embarrassed tones,
When the dance they had gone quite through,
"Pray pardon my boldness," he said with a smile,
"But you see I'm attached to you."

Then roguishly glancing, she answered at once,
"Don't let that worry you so,
For quickly you 'd see, if you 'd only half try,
This attachment is mutual, you know."
