It caused John to smile at his brother and to clasp his hand as he passed him . It charmed Jane and Lucy and they glanced at each other with wondering pleasure and delight . After the songs some of the elder guests sat down to a game of whist , the younger ones danced Money Musk , Squire Beverly and Mrs. Stephen Hatton leading , while Harry played the old country dance with a snap and movement that made hearts bound and feet forget that age or rheumatism were in existence . At eleven o'clock the party dispersed and the great dinner was over . Harry had justified it . His mother felt sure of that . He had sung his way into every heart , and if John was so indifferent about political honors and office , she could think of no one better to fill Stephen Hatton 's place than his son Harry .
