#Polka... the Brighton Gazette reports an anecdote about a fashionable lady hassling the famed polka dance-master Perrot for private lessons. Not wishing to offend the influential dame with an outright refusal, Perrot gave his price as £5 per lesson, "thinking that she would never dream of paying so enormous a sum; in that he was disappointed. 'The price is nothing,' said the lady. 'Give me the lesson.' Perrot did so; and in less than a week he had a great number of pupils at the same rate."
