About eleven o'clock
The surgeon 's prediction came true . Philip found himself weak the next day , but able to get about . In reply to numerous calls of inquiry for the minister , Mrs. Strong was able to report that he was much better . About eleven o'clock , when the postman called , Philip was in his study lying on his lounge . His wife brought up two letters . One of them was from his old chum ; he read that first . He then laid it down and opened the other .
