A young girl called Leila has come to the city to stay with her cousins, the Sheridans. As the story opens, they are going to a ball. Leila is very excited: this is her first ball. Once there, she is both excited and terrified. After dancing with several young men, she dances with an old balding man who has been coming to balls for 30 years. He tells her that she will eventually grow old and only watch the dances, regretting her lost youth and beauty. For a moment, the magic of the occasion is spoilt. Then another young man asks Leila to dance, and her worries disappear. so the last day she wakes up she sees herself an old woman who did not live her life perfectly and that was all because of the ball.
