What it sounds like
She expected gentlemen to be good at having worthwhile conversations.
What it really means
“She’s telling Anthony that he and other gentlemen are dull conversationalists, turning his criticism of women’s dancing back on him.”
Said today
“I thought men were supposed to be able to hold an interesting conversation.”
What was happening
Anthony says he thought women were taught to dance after Kate complains about barely feeling her toes. Kate answers by questioning men’s conversational skills, making his own jab the setup for hers.
