Hearing Bells


I think I should like to learn how to dance.

I’ve been watching the other slaves and I see no reason why I would not be able, with much practice, to move as they do. I never thought I would want to learn, but I guess this was spurned on by the night that Tony commanded me to dance. As terrified as I was at the prospect, I have to admit that it excited me as well.

I have no misgivings of my abilities. I will never be a great dancer, but I could, maybe, be a good dancer. Of course I would have to find someone to teach me, I don’t think watching is quite enough.

Who knows, maybe I could even earn a set of bells that jingle when I walk.
