Over there, James Anderson led Helen Blair off the dance floor, but they had no idea that the surrounding crowd was buzzing with excitement.

"Did you see, did you see? James is actually dancing!"

"Yeah, it's so weird. I've seen him at banquets more than once, but I've never seen him invite a girl to dance. I even thought he couldn't dance!"

"What's the relationship between him and Helen Blair? Are they dating?"

"No way, his family wouldn't let him date a merchant's daughter!"

"Actually, James is just someone with a strong background, but not fun or humorous in person. So stiff and boring, who would want to be with him?"

"You're just sour grapes!"

"Psh!"

In the middle of the dance floor, the two of them were unaware of the ongoing discussion about them. James led her, swaying gently to the music.
