three o'clock
`` You have been rather a perverse young lady , Dexie , but you have fallen into good hands at last . You must not leave me yet , dear child , for what should I do without my little nurse ? But , bless my heart ! there 's three o'clock . You will not get into your hotel at this hour , Traverse , but I expect you would not sleep much if you did , so go back into the sitting-room , the both of you , and finish the night ! '' `` Thank you , Mr. Sherwood ; your liberty adds much to the pleasure . I hope we have not tired you , '' he added , as he rose from his seat .
