Returning the Lady To Her Seat
After a dance is over, the gentleman accompanies the lady back to her chair or other place of origin, usually with easy exclamations of pleasure and gratitude. He does not end a dance with a quick "thanks," and then bound off toward the snack table, leaving her alone in the middle of the floor. Well, I may have done that at times, but I had to turn off my tape recorder. We should try not to desert or abandon our ladies.
