o'clock
`` You did n't like him at first , '' I said to her . `` I thought he spoke slightingly of your uncle and that he meant all he said , which of course was stupid of me . He was delightful after you had gone , and talked most kindly and sensibly about you , I wish your father could have heard him . '' But my father had gone to Rouen and was not coming back until ten o'clock , and I am not sure that he would have liked the Warden , so perhaps it was as well that they did not meet . My dinner was wearisome , for Miss Davenport , the Warden 's sister , was with him , and she talked while I listened . I am sorry to say she was in a very bad temper , and it seemed that the naughty Warden had kept her waiting for two hours during the afternoon . She was by no means in love with France , and though I tried to soothe her I only succeeded in making her sarcastic ; I thought the Warden ought to have protected me , but he had known his sister longer than I had , and probably had forgotten that she could make any one suffer .
