[En] « But there were some consequences of her captivity which she could no easily shake off.
She was accustomed to dancing all night, and sleep did not come easily to her.

compelling her to dance – thought it was the last thing in the world that she wanted to do. »

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke

– It is just that I ache all over – as a man does who has been dancing all night” (…)
– No, no. There was no ball. I seem to have all the pains of dancing, without having had any of the pleasure.”
