o'clock
Polly had always meant to rule , and that undisputedly . Breakfasting in her bedroom at ten o'clock , she was surprised by the receipt of a telegram . It came from Christopher Parish and ran thus : `` Great news . Do meet me at entrance to Liverpool Street Station one o'clock . Wonderful news . '' What this news could be puzzled her for a moment ; then she remembered that Mr. Parish had spoke of a possible `` rise '' at Swettenham 's early in the New Year . That must be it .
