Another night, another ball. Amelia had lost count of the events she had been forced to attend this season; not even her first year had been quite so much work. Last night she had attended a smallish dinner party with Clarice, where the girl had endeavored to convince both Misters Snowden and Stillwell that their efforts were better spent elsewhere. And she had done it with grace and tact, something Amelia had watched with surprised interest. The more time she spent with Clarice the more she thought the girl would indeed make someone a very fine wife. As long as the gentleman was of the refined sort and had some power to back up Clarice’s grace and tact. Both Misters Snowden and Stillwell had seemed inclined to ignore Clarice’s rebuffs until Amelia let them know their intentions were now unwelcome.

Grace and tact were all well and good, but Amelia had always preferred to get the job done quickly when the time for play was done.

The most unrefined gentleman still in the good graces of the ton made his way to her side, offering a drink.

“I’m not speaking with you.”

“Come, don’t be a spoilsport. You tried your damnedest last night to get me to change the name. You know I won’t. I enjoy steering you, or at least your namesake, around for once.”

“It is improper!”

His eyes twinkled and he whispered, “Oh, I do know that.”

“You are the most... I can not fathom...”

Words failed her and she let out a small growl. He simply smiled wider and once again offered her the drink.

“Drink up, my dear. It seems your throat is a little parched.”

“That is not punch.”

He looked down, as if in surprise. “Hmm? Oh, you looked a little tired. Thought you might need something a little stronger.”

“Are you trying to get me drunk, Jameson?”

He held an offended hand to his chest. “Get you drunk? My dear Amelia, you simply looked thirsty.”

“You’re making me very nervous. Please go away and bother someone else.”

He leaned toward her, pressing the glass into her hand. “I’m glad I’m making you nervous.”

She watched him walk away and shook her head. How many more months of this was she to bear? Perhaps if she got Clarice married off before the end of the season she could escape to the country early. She was in desperate need of some peace and quiet.

The reason she was in such desperate need of peace and quiet left her alone for scarcely half an hour before he was back bothering her again.

He bowed, his hand held out to her. “I believe this dance is mine.”

She sighed and placed her hand in his, allowing him to lead her onto the floor. “Did you have to choose a waltz?”

“I believe I did. My hope is to one day complete a whole dance without a tug-of-war ensuing. I think it unlikely, but I’m willing to keep trying.”

“Perhaps the fault lies not with me but with my partners.”

Jameson nodded, looking thoughtful. “What you’re saying is none of your dance partners has mastered the art well enough and you are simply trying to instruct.
