The use of' m'esquiver à l'anglaise'
Can anyone tell me what the expression 'm'esquiver à l'anglaise' means (having to do with escaping from a dance held at a large house)?
Mon project était de traverser doucement le salon, de m'esquiver à l'anglaise, et, une fois dehors, de rapporter victorieusement les duex pêches enveloppés dans mon mouchoir.
