eight o'clock
`` Yes , Miss. '' Miss Levison drew a little writing-stand to her side , opened the desk , took out materials and penned the following note : `` LONE CASTLE , Tuesday . `` MY MOST BELOVED AND HONORED : Your right royal gift is beyond all price for richness , beauty , traditional interest , and symbolism , and as such I shall hold it above all other gifts , and cherish it to the end of my life . But it is not only to speak of your invaluable gift I write ; it is also to ask you to do a strange thing to please me this morning . It is now eight o'clock . We are appointed to meet at the church at eleven . Will you meet me _ here _ first at half-past nine ? I wish to tell you something before we go to the altar .
