ten o'clock
It is really a great trial , Dosie , to be so rich . I sometimes wish we were n't worth more than a million , for , after all , I suspect true happiness is to be found in these little fortunes . Heigho ! It 's ten o'clock , and we must go , if we mean to be there at all ; for Mrs. Caverly once said , in my presence , that she thought it as vulgar to be too late , as too early . '' The carriage was ordered , and we all three got in , leaving a message for Mr. Halfacre to follow us . As the rumor that a `` three-figure '' pocket-handkerchief was to be at the ball , had preceded my appearance , a general buzz announced my arrival in the salle a manger-salons . I have no intention of describing fashionable society in the GREAT EMPORIUM of the WESTERN WORLD .
