Soft candles lighted the hall, and the rustle of long skirts and the ripple of laughter mingled in a happy atmosphere.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>During dinner the four sat at a lace-covered table at the head of the hall. The maid and butler, presenting a striking contrast in height, hovered close by, waiting to bring each thing for them. The pert maid wore a long skirt, a tiny lace cap and frilly apron, while the butler wore [a] severe black suit with a lace collar. (Much twisting and squirming, whether observed or not, was going on because of the servant&#8217;s attire.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px; text-align: left;\"><em>Buckles on black shoes, hair piled high, bright smiles, billowing skirts, tightly fitting knee-breeches, and ruffles &#8212; all these are assembled in careful order to result in four graceful figures as they start the dance after dinner.
