seven o'clock
I 'm glad now I did n't have it here . '' Agatha had been restless for white lace , and rose-pink , and a Brussels carpet ever since her friend Zarah Thoole had come home from Europe and furnished a morning-room . All this time Mr. Grant Ledwith , quite unconscious of the impending changes with which his family were so far advanced in imagination , was busy among bales and samples in Devonshire Street . It got to be an old story by the time the seven o'clock train was in , and he reached home . It was almost as if it had all happened a year ago , and they had been waiting for him to come home from Australia . There was so much to explain to him that it was really hard to make him understand , and to bring him up to the point from which they could go on together . The Ledwiths took apartments in Boston for a month .
