about ten o'clock
`` It 's only because she 's sorry . I 'm never going to make her unhappy again , though , '' he thought , as he went on to shake hands with his father . `` Morning , Bob , '' said the Captain , pressing his boy 's hand hard , and then turning to Dot , whom he jumped up so as to kiss her lovingly . That was a very dull breakfast , for the sad looks of Captain and Mrs. Trevor had their effect upon the young folks , who were glad to escape , at last , to their own room , where they stayed till about ten o'clock , when Mrs. Trevor came suddenly in , looking very pale . `` Come , my darlings , '' she said ; `` your poor father wants to see you . '' She caught Dot 's hand in hers and led her through the door , leaving poor Bob half stunned ; for his mother seemed so strange to him , and he could not get the idea out of his head that this was all something to do with yesterday 's trouble ; but he could not find the words to ask , and so followed into the drawing-room , where Captain Trevor was looking very hard and stern , as he held out his hands to Dot , catching her in his arms and kissing her in a way that startled her . Then taking out his watch , he glanced at it and thrust it back in his pocket , drawing himself up directly after , and looking harder than ever .
