a quarter to six
This was enough for Arthur , whose knowledge of the classics was that of the ordinary University graduate ; he turned the subject with remarkable promptitude . `` Tell me , '' he said , looking her straight in the face , `` are you glad that I am coming ? '' The grey eyes dropped a little before the boldness of his gaze , but she answered , unhesitatingly , `` Yes , for my own sake I am glad ; but I fear that you will find it very dull . '' `` Come , Angela , we must be off ; I want to be home by a quarter to six , '' said Philip just then . She rose at once and shook hands with Arthur , murmuring , `` Good-by till to-morrow morning , '' and then with Lady Bellamy . George , meanwhile , with the most unwonted hospitality , was pressing her father to stay to dinner , and , when he declined , announcing his intention of coming over to see him on the morrow . At last he got away , but not before Lady Bellamy had bid him a seemingly cordial adieu .
