 In the ball @-@ room , the long card @-@ room , the octagonal card @-@ room , the staircases , and the passages , the hum of many voices , and the sound of many feet , were perfectly <unk> . <unk> <unk> , feathers <unk> , lights <unk> , and jewels <unk> . There was the music — not of the <unk> band , for it had not yet commenced ; but the music of soft tiny footsteps , with now and then a clear <unk> laugh — low and gentle , but very pleasant to hear in a female voice , whether in Bath or elsewhere .
