three o’clock
Next morning there was an account of his lecture in the `` Times , '' and the morning after there was an editorial about his revelations , with the moral : `` Join the Improve America League . '' Section 86 That second morning , when Peter got to his office , he found a letter waiting for him , a letter written on very conspicuous and expensive stationery , and addressed in a woman 's tall and sharp-pointed handwriting . Peter opened it and got a start , for at the top of the letter was some kind of crest , and a Latin inscription , and the words : `` Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution . '' The letter informed him by the hand of a secretary that Mrs. Warring Sammye requested that Mr. Peter Gudge would be so good as to call upon her that afternoon at three o'clock . Peter studied the letter , and tried to figure out what kind of Red this was . He was impressed by the stationery and the regal tone , but that word `` Revolution '' was one of the forbidden words . Mrs. Warren Sammye must be one of the `` Parlor Reds , '' like Mrs. Godd .
