Success

"I say! It's got a good beat!"

Rare Success

"But that's... the forbidden dance!"

How were you to know the Ministry for Public Decency banned it only last week? […] The guests agree they would not fare well in New Newgate, and swear never to speak of this. […] No-one else will ever know quite what happened here tonight. […]

Description summary:
You've inadvertently implicated the entire party as accomplices in a crime against decency and nature. This turns out to be quite the icebreaker. And everyone else in London will know only that whatever happened this evening, it was so indescribable that the guests literally refuse to speak of it. You lucky dog.

Failure

"It's a miracle no-one else was hurt!"

Your partner wasn't ready for the change in tempo and sudden reversal a minute in. They are carried from the dance floor […] For propriety's sake you have to stay with them until the doctor arrives, by which time you've missed dinner.
