seven o'clock
I had said it would be hard to break off our pleasant journey before I had seen where she lived , and I thought she seemed relieved to know that she should not be wholly a stranger on her arrival . It was clear enough that her aunt would send no one to meet her . These preliminaries adjusted , we parted to our respective cabins . And when , the next morning , at that unearthly hour demanded by Philadelphia trains and other exigencies , the Newton made her dock , I rejoiced that breakfast was not till seven o'clock , that I had two hours more of the berth , which was luxury compared to Zekiel 's bunk , -- I turned upon my other side and slept on . Sorry enough for that morning nap was I for the next thirty-six hours . For when I went on deck , and sent in the stewardess to tell Miss Jones that I was waiting for her , and then took from her the check for her trunk , I woke to the misery of finding that , in that treacherous two hours , some pirate from the pier had stepped on board , had seized the waiting trunk , left almost alone , while the baggage-master 's back was turned , and that , to a certainty , it was lost . I did not return to Fausta with this story till the breakfast-bell had long passed and the breakfast was very cold .
