Thank you Julie Written by Maisy (5/2/2007 8:43 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Hmmm....., penned by JulieW

I wanted to understand what was expected of a gentleman. A "social obligation" makes me think that it was a gentleman's duty--even if not strictly required--to dance at a social event such as the Meryton Assembly.
