nine o'clock in the evening
The tenth of October arrived . A wet , lowering day , with alternate snatches of rain and sunshine , settling down toward sunset into a steady , uncomfortable drizzle . A dismal enough wedding-day . The ceremony was to take place at nine o'clock in the evening , and the invited guests were numerous . Harrison Park would accommodate them all royally . Mr. Linmere was expected out from the city in the six o'clock train , and as the stopping place was not more than five minutes ' walk from the Park , he had left orders that no carriage need be sent . He would walk up .
