"Why thank you," he said, a note of teasingly exaggerated gentility marking his tone. "Whatever skill I have is as much from necessity as desire. You wouldn't believe how many social functions involve tuxedos and slow dancing." He gave a small bow as he extended his arm, guiding her away from him with a measured little twirl. As he drew her back to him he added, "A good partner makes it easy enough, and very entertaining." Still, his dark eyes scanned the crowd, wondering who among them was the undesirable she had mentioned. "Who's giving you trouble, if you don't mind my asking?" His brow furrowed in thought, but his darkling gaze did not alight upon any particularly obvious candidates.
