twenty minutes past five
I may mention that the gift consisted of a very fine mummy and a complete set of tomb-furniture . The latter , however , had not arrived from Egypt at the time when the missing man left for Paris , but the mummy was inspected on the fourteenth of October at Mr. Bellingham 's house by Dr. Norbury of the British Museum , in the presence of the donor and his solicitor , and the latter was authorized to hand over the complete collection to the British Museum authorities when the tomb-furniture arrived ; which he has since done . `` From Paris he seems to have returned on the twenty-third of November , and to have gone direct to Charing Cross to the house of a relative , a Mr. Hurst , who is a bachelor and lives at Eltham . He appeared at the house at twenty minutes past five , and as Mr. Hurst had not yet come down from town and was not expected until a quarter to six , he explained who he was and said he would wait in the study and write some letters . The housemaid accordingly showed him into the study , furnished him with writing materials , and left him . `` At a quarter to six Mr. Hurst let himself in with his latchkey , and before the housemaid had time to speak to him he had passed through into the study and shut the door . `` At six o'clock , when the dinner bell was rung , Mr. Hurst entered the dining-room alone , and observing that the table was laid for two , asked the reason .
