And many were the subtle schemes Jane tried, without success, to induce Hezekiah to propose marriage. At the crucial moment, something always happened to upset her schemes. Love did not seem to have a part in Hezekiah. He always talked of crops or of the weather. At last, at the Squire's dance, Hezekiah woke up, but not with love. It was the new dances, the tango, the hugs, and the trots, that did the work. He learned to perform these gymnastic stunts, and nothing could stop him. Besides, he was taught by a charmingly pretty girl. Poor Jane was left in the lurch. The dances were simply horrid to her. No one would take the trouble to teach her, anyway. So she was left to go home alone, and her heart was nearly broken. Who should come then, but sister Kate, and sister Kate was city bred and up-to-date. To her Jane pours out her woeful tale. Kate sizes things up in no time. She advises Jane to "unkink" her spine and learn the dances. Jane gives in and allows sister Kate to rejuvenate her. She learns how to tango until Kate declares she has no equal. At the next ball Jane's tango steps and jaunty carriage amaze the elite of Corn Center. The rest of the belles are left in the cold as the men crowd about Jane. And Hezekiah. Well, Hezekiah insisted on getting married the same night. Written by
