three o’clock
Stella did not appear at dinner that night , or at breakfast next day . In the course of the morning , growing impatient , for he had explanations to make , Morris sent her a note worded thus : `` Can I see you ? -- M. M. '' to which came the following answer : `` Not to-day . Meet me to-morrow at the Dead Church at three o'clock . -- Stella . '' It was the only letter that he ever received from her . That afternoon , December 23 , Mr. Fregelius and his daughter moved to the Rectory in a fly that had been especially prepared to convey the invalid without shaking him .
