ten in the morning
`` Dear Edward , '' she said ; `` it is sweet to know he loves me . Ah , well , he is young ; he must live without me till I become but a tender memory of his youth . And oh , I pray for him that he may cherish the words I have spoken to him for his soul 's good far longer than he can remember these features that are hastening to decay . '' At ten in the morning Mr. Hardie 's messenger returned without Alfred , and with a note from Dr. Wycherley to this effect , that , the order for Alfred 's admission into his asylum being signed by Mr. Thomas Hardie , he could not send him out even for a day except on Thomas Hardie 's authority ; it would be a violation of the law . Under the circumstances , however , he thought he might venture to receive that order by telegraph . If , then , Mr. Hardie would telegraph Thomas Hardie in Yorkshire to telegraph him -LRB- Wycherley -RRB- , Alfred should be sent with two keepers wherever Mr. T. Hardie should so direct . Now Mr. Hardie had already repented of sending for Alfred at all .
