six o'clock
It was in obedience to Baptista 's earnest request that Stow consented thus to make the whole journey to Lyonesse by land and water at one heat , and not break it at Pen-zephyr ; she seemed to be oppressed with a dread of lingering anywhere , this great first act of disobedience to her parents once accomplished , with the weight on her mind that her home had to be convulsed by the disclosure of it . To face her difficulties over the water immediately she had created them was , however , a course more desired by Baptista than by her lover ; though for once he gave way . The next morning was bright and warm as those which had preceded it . By six o'clock it seemed nearly noon , as is often the case in that part of England in the summer season . By nine they were husband and wife . They packed up and departed by the earliest train after the service ; and on the way discussed at length what she should say on meeting her parents , Charley dictating the turn of each phrase . In her anxiety they had travelled so early that when they reached Pen-zephyr they found there were nearly two hours on their hands before the steamer 's time of sailing .
