two o’clock
Paul flew upstairs , calling `` Good-bye ! '' and Emma drew herself up . `` It was n't _ me _ who wanted him to play with the machine , '' she said . As a rule , when all the girls came back at two o'clock , he ran upstairs to Fanny , the hunchback , in the finishing-off room . Mr. Pappleworth did not appear till twenty to three , and he often found his boy sitting beside Fanny , talking , or drawing , or singing with the girls . Often , after a minute 's hesitation , Fanny would begin to sing . She had a fine contralto voice .
