 You think you shall ever see a gentleman in good societies to tickle his partner in the dance till she say Ouch?  Never! I assure you it is not done. 
  Again! Now then! Piano, please! One-two-three; one-two-three--glide! Mr.Penrod Schofield, your right foot--your right foot! No, no! Stop!"  The merry-go-round came to a standstill.     "Mr.Penrod Schofield and partner"-- Professor Bartet wiped his brow--"will you kindly observe me?  One-two-three--glide! So! Now then--no; you will please keep your places, ladies and gentlemen. 
  Mr.    Penrod Schofield, I would puttickly like your attention, this is for you!"  "Pickin' on me again!" murmured the smouldering Penrod to his small, unsympathetic partner. 
  "Can't let me alone a minute!"  "Mister Georgie Bassett, please step to the centre," said the professor.     Mr.Bassett complied with modest alacrity.     "Teacher's pet!" whispered Penrod hoarsely.
