eleven o'clock
I saw the shadow that fell upon her face . She was vexed and turned and ran away from me without another word and I felt a pang of regret as I went to the lonely and deserted home of the schoolmaster . I had hoped that the Senator would ask me to dinner , but the coming of the President had upset the chance of it . It was eleven o'clock . Mrs. Hacket had put a cold bite on the table for me . I ate it -- not to keep it waiting -- and sat down with my eyes on my book and my mind at the Dunkelbergs ' -- where I heard in a way what Sally was saying and what `` Mr. and Mrs. Horace Dunkelberg '' were saying . At twelve-thirty Mr. Dunkelberg came for me , with a high-stepping horse in a new harness and a shiny still-running buggy .
