P. T. Barnum：Struggles and Triumphs, Additional Excerpt 317

Miss Lind asked me if I would dance with her. I told her my education had been neglected in that line, and that I had never danced in my life, “That is all the better,” said she; “now dance with me in a cotillion.

She said she would give me the credit of being the poorest dancer she ever saw!
