three in the
afternoon
Bride and bridegroom had one of the blithest , happiest journeys ever made . What cloud could rise in such a sky as theirs . They were blessed with youth , beauty , health ; there had been no one to raise the least opposition to their marriage ; before them stretched a long golden future . The carriage met them at the station , it was then three in the afternoon , and the day continued fair . `` We will have a long drive through the park , Madaline , '' said Lord Arleigh . `` You will like to see your new home . '' So , instead of going direct to the mansion , they turned off from the main avenue to make a tour of the park .
