Drink, maybe, but it would be remiss of me to dance without my teacher.

Next time, then.

If you can't dance without me, then I have failed in my role as a tutor. Please, take advantage of the celebrations where you can find them, Mr. Chandler.

Next time, perhaps.

You're mistaken. I'm saying that if it's my first-time dancing in the City, I want you to be my partner. I haven't had an occasion to dance since you taught me, it wouldn't feel right for my first official dance to be with anyone else.

So, I hope you'll save a dance for me one day, Miss Ives.

[ That's not quite how it's meant to go, but supposedly nothing was usual about their lessons, either. ]

Now I must suffer the guilt of keeping others from knowing the joy of following your graceful step. I've little doubt that opportunity will be swift to find us, in such a case.
