seven o'clock
Besides these women there was a groom or a gardener -LRB- whichever you choose to call him -RRB- , who was a single man and so lived out , lodging with a labouring family about half a mile away . Mr. Tebrick going downstairs pitched upon the parlour-maid . `` Janet , '' says he , `` Mrs. Tebrick and I have had some bad news , and Mrs. Tebrick was called away instantly to London and left this afternoon , and I am staying to-night to put our affairs in order . We are shutting up the house , and I must give you and Mrs. Brant a month 's wages and ask you to leave to-morrow morning at seven o'clock . We shall probably go away to the Continent , and I do not know when we shall come back . Please tell the others , and now get me my tea and bring it into my study on a tray . '' Janet said nothing for she was a shy girl , particularly before gentlemen , but when she entered the kitchen Mr. Tebrick heard a sudden burst of conversation with many exclamations from the cook .
