six
o'clock
The little boy , Lewis , was a manly looking little fellow for his age , although I feared , from his countenance that he might possess a temper and a will not easy to be controlled . He somewhat resembled his sister Georgania , as his complexion and eyes were dark ; but he had a more pleasing expression of countenance . When Mrs. Leighton had dismissed the children from the room , she turned to me , remarking that probably I would like to retire for a time to my own room , she called one of the servants and requested her to show me to my apartment . As I was leaving the parlor she informed me that tea would be ready at half-past six o'clock . The room appropriated to my use was very pleasant , and was also tastefully furnished . At the tea-table I was introduced to Mr. Leighton , whom I had not before seen . I was very much pleased by his manner , which had none of that patronizing condescension with which the rich so often address the poor .
