Muldoon is ready to continue out this hypothetical knight-Midge conversation when Hammond appears. The new of music and dancing is enough to wipe off his expression into one of concern again.

"I don't really dance very well..."

"Oh come on," Hammond insists, waving the two of them over to the ballroom. "You're on your feet all day every day, you just need to move them a little. It's easy, Midge will show you."

Uncertain as he is, the pressure is enough to get Muldoon to his feet and heading vaguely in the right direction. Once Hammond isn't talking over him he feels obliged to give Midge fair warning.

"I'm not a good dancer. I don't want to step on your toes."
