` I think , ' said Harry , ` you had better wait till to-morrow . ' He did not tell me of Mr. Vandeleur 's telegram -- for he had been desired not to do so . I should have been still more uneasy and nervous if I had known my formidable cousin was actually on his way to Middlemoor ! Later in the afternoon -- about three o'clock or so -- Harry looked at his watch and started up . We were sitting in the drawing-room talking quietly -- Harry had been asking me about my lessons and finding out how far on I was , for I was a little tired still , and we had been running about a good deal in the morning . ` Oh , ' I said , in a disappointed tone , ` where are you going ? If you would wait a little while , I could come out with you again , I am sure . '
