six o'clock
At the end of the concert this lady drew Alma apart . ` Dear Mrs. Rolfe , I wonder whether I could ask you to do me a kindness ? Are you in any hurry to get home ? ' It was six o'clock , on an evening of January . Delighted with her success , Alma felt very much like a young man whose exuberant spirits urge him to ` make a night of it ' . She declared that she was in no hurry at all , and would be only too glad to do Mrs. Strangeways any kindness in her power . ` It will sound rather odd to you , ' pursued the lady in a low voice , ` but I would rather trust you than anyone else .
