An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant, as the case may be. It is hardly a matter that she could be allowed to arrange for herself.

Well, I know, of course, how important it is not to keep a business engagement, if one wants to retain any sense of the beauty of life.

I must decline your invitation owing to a subsequent engagement.
