When we used to waltz, we clasped arms easily, took a nice, respectable position, and danced in a poetry of motion. Now, girls, how do you two-step? In nine cases out of ten the dear girl reposes her head on the young man's shoulder, or else their faces press each other. He presses her to his breast as closely as possible, and actually carries her around. Disgraceful? I should say so. Do you wonder at the ministers preaching on dancing as a sin, when it looks like this to a woman like myself who believes in dancing and has danced all her life? Mothers, as you love your girls, forbid them to dance after this manner. [letter in the ladies' section of Locomotive Engineers' Monthly Journal, March 1898]
当我们跳华尔兹时,我们轻松地交叉手臂,采取一个不错的,respectable 位置,舞动着优美的动作诗。现在,女孩们,你们如何跳两步舞?在十个案例中有九个,亲爱的女孩将头靠在年轻人的肩膀上,或者他们的脸相互贴近。他尽可能紧紧地将她抱在怀里,实际上是把她抱着转圈。可耻?我会这样说。你们难怪那些牧师会宣讲跳舞是罪,当它对像我这样相信舞蹈并一生都在跳舞的女人看起来是这样的?母亲们,既然你们爱自己的女孩,就禁止她们以这种方式跳舞。[letter in the ladies' section of Locomotive Engineers' Monthly Journal, March 1898]
