This afternoon He sent for me to come down . I went to the dining-room expecting some horror , and I was not disappointed . The three were sitting there as they had sat before , and I thought that there was trouble upon their faces . It was only two o'clock , and they had just finished lunch . John was the first to speak . He addressed me in a mocking tone . `` I have the honor to inform you , '' said he , `` that the time has arrived when you are to be took down . ''
