Jean Paul applauded for her and smiled at her broadly as got up from the piano and bowed. He watched her carefully, hoping that their evening together was not yet over. Just then, the orchestra began to play, and recognizing that he would need the acceptance of her parents, if not their blessing, and seeing her mother without a dance partner, He approached the regal lady and bowing deeply extended his hand and offered a dance. She blushed but accepted. Jean Paul, in his best French praised her beauty and that of her daughter, and expressed the sentiment that she should receive the credit for her daughters fine beauty and upbringing as they danced. When the song ended, he excused himself from her and again approached Brooke, whose father had just finished dancing with her.
