seven o'clock in the evening
We must save her from becoming wise through bitter sorrow , if it can in any way be managed . I hope and trust that nothing may happen to prevent your receiving this letter to-morrow , for I am very uneasy , and not likely to become less so as time goes on . `` Believe me , dear Mr. Mallard , `` Sincerely yours , `` EDITH LESSINGHAM . '' At seven o'clock in the evening , Mallard was in Naples . He did not go to Casa Rolandi , but took a room in one of the musty hotels which overlook the port . When he felt sure that Mrs. Gluck 's guests must have dined , he presented himself at the house and sent his name to Mrs. Lessingham . She took his hand with warm welcome .
