Cinderfella (1998)
“Charmaine smiled as her dance partner prattled on, but only because her father was watching closely. Let him imagine, for a few minutes, what it would be like to have this fool as his son-in-law. That would teach him to meddle.
She hadn’t gotten in a single word since this dance had begun, because her partner — one of Ash Coleman’s inept stepbrothers — had complained constantly about his head and his back and his infected toenail that made dancing so difficult.
Surely she had danced with every ...man in East Kansas tonight, and the evening was young. Her father had introduced his obvious favorites with a transparently satisfied wide smile, and there were a number of cowboys from neighboring ranches who’d crashed the party. Old acquaintances, her father’s friends’ sons, complete strangers, she’d danced with them all.
On more than one occasion she’d tried to voice her opinion — a modern and shocking conviction that would scare off even the most persistent suitor — but it was a waste of time.MoreLess
