eleven o'clock
I was uneasy , knowing Mr. Dick , and Mrs. Sam was worried , too . By that time everybody was waiting and watching , and on the early train on the sixth day came the lawyer , a Mr. Stitt . Mr. Thoburn was going around with a sort of greasy smile , and if I could have poisoned him safely I 'd have done it . It had been snowing hard for a day or so , and at eleven o'clock that day I saw Miss Cobb and Mrs. Biggs coming down the path to the spring-house , Mrs. Biggs with her crocheting-bag hanging to the handle of her umbrella . I opened the door , but they would n't come in . `` We wo n't track up your clean floor , Minnie , '' Mrs. Biggs said -- she was a little woman , almost fifty , who 'd gone through life convinced she 'd only lived so long by the care she took of herself -- `` but I thought I 'd better come and speak to you . Please do n't irritate Mr. Biggs to-day .
