half past two
I prayed that God would spare her , and restore her to me ; that he would crown with success my exertions to find her . I am sure that , in all my intense emotion , I did not cherish a sentiment of revenge towards my uncle , or even towards his son , who had treated me like a brute . My silent prayers warmed my heart , and blessed me with new strength and courage . At half past two we drove into Romer . Bob put up his horse at a stable , and we dined together at a hotel . At quarter past four , the train going east arrived ; and , bidding Bob an affectionate farewell , after he had promised to write me the news in Parkville on his return , Kate and I entered the car , and were soon whirling away from the town , from friends and from enemies . THOUGH I had not travelled much , I felt quite at home on the train .
