five o'clock
Carbuncle had no money , -- so it was said ; and she had none . She was the daughter of a man who had gone to New York and had failed there . Of her own parentage no more was known . She had a small house in one of the very small Mayfair streets , to which she was wont to invite her friends for five o'clock tea . Other receptions she never attempted . During the London seasons she always kept a carriage , and during the winters she always had hunters . Who paid for them no one knew or cared .
