about ten o'clock in the morning
I had nothing particular to do while we were getting ready for sea ; nothing to prevent me from going over for a day , I mean ; and I thought I 'd like to see Jack Benton , and have a look at the girl he was going to marry . I wondered whether he had grown cheerful again , and had got rid of that drawn look he had when he told me it was n't his fault . How could it have been his fault , anyhow ? So I wrote to Jack that I would come down and see him married ; and when the day came I took the train , and got there about ten o'clock in the morning . I wish I had n't . Jack met me at the station , and he told me that the wedding was to be late in the afternoon , and that they were n't going off on any silly wedding trip , he and Mamie , but were just going to walk home from her mother 's house to his cottage . That was good enough for him , he said .
