five o'clock
Meanwhile Count Roumovski had made all arrangements at the Excelsior Hotel , and after lunch sat quietly in the hall awaiting his beloved . Mrs. Ebley had felt too upset to go down to the restaurant , so the two clergymen were there alone , and glanced wrathfully at the imperturbable face of Count Roumovski seated at his usual table , with his air of detached aloofness and perfect calm . They , on the contrary , were so boiling with rage that they knew not what they ate . After lunch it had been decided that the party should leave the Grand and take the five o'clock train to Florence , and their preparations were made . Mrs. Ebley had herself been laboriously packing so as not to take Martha from her post , and orders were whispered to that faithful Abigail through Stella 's letter slide to pack Miss Rawson 's things at once . Stella watched these preparations serenely , and gave Martha directions as to what to put on the top . Then when all was finished and she had donned her hat , she rang the electric bell for the waiter , and when he knocked at the door she calmly bade him enter , which , of course , he was able to do with his key , and she told him in French , which Martha did not understand , to send the porters there immediately , and have her luggage consigned to the care of the servant who would be waiting in the passage .
