Minuet

It was not quadrille dancing, nor minuet dancing, nor even country-dance dancing.

After he had raved his time upon the stage, the ladies and knights again minueted for an hour, and again gave place.

Within the same circle with the pigeons, were beautiful albatrosses, poising and minueting with them in the most pleasing fellowship.

This set the pattern for four years, as the two monarchs minueted around the vast Commonwealth, never again to face each other personally in battle.
