one in the evening
`` That 's what we 'll do . '' This conversation between Mr. George and Rollo had been carried on in English ; but now Mr. George turned to the clerk , and said in French that he would take the two places that were left , one in the morning coach and one in the evening coach of Wednesday . The place in the morning coach was upon the banquette . The one in the evening coach was in the coupé . Mr. George had scarcely uttered the words by which he engaged the seats , before two gentlemen came in in a hurried manner to ask for seats in the diligence for Wednesday . The clerk told them that the last of them had just been engaged . When Wednesday morning came , Rollo was awakened by the porter of the hotel knocking at his door before it was light .
