ten in the
morning
Mr. Glascock explained that he had not come to take Mr. Trevelyan away , -- but only to take away a little boy that was with him . For this reason he was travelling with a maid-servant , -- a fact for which Mr. Glascock clearly thought it necessary that he should give an intelligible and credible explanation . The landlord seemed to think that the people at the hospital would have been much rejoiced had Mr. Glascock intended to take Mr. Trevelyan away also . He started after a very early breakfast , and found himself walking up over the stone ridges to the house between nine and ten in the morning . He himself had sat beside the driver and had put the maid inside the carriage . He had not deemed it wise to take an undivided charge of the boy even from Casalunga to Siena . At the door of the house , as though waiting for him , he found Trevelyan , not dirty as he had been before , but dressed with much appearance of smartness .
