"I should like balls infinitely better," [Miss Bingley] replied, "if they were carried on in a different manner; but there is something insufferably tedious in the usual process of such a meeting. It would surely be much more rational if conversation instead of dancing were made the order of the day."
--Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen, 1813), Chapter 11
