What kind of dance was the quadrille? Or is it slang and not really a dance? (See below)
The Daily News
Batavia, Genesee Co., NY
Thursday Evening, April 7 1881.
MERE MENTION.
--The Cuba News is now engaged in writing up the "nice young men" of that
place. Their remarks in regard to the boys are unusually sharp.
--Can you dance the quadrille? My brother Bill can dawnse[sic] the
quadrille, and goes to the bar and gets his fill, like any other pill--so be still.
