eleven
o'clock
I am quite excited at the prospect of seeing all the people -- are n't you ? '' `` I am not going , '' said Ruth . And when Mollie exclaimed and cross-questioned , she flushed uncomfortably , but did not refuse to answer . `` I have made up my mind to go to early service , but not again at eleven o'clock . It 's not that I do n't want to go ; it 's because I want to go so much -- for the wrong reasons ! Ever so many times during the last few days I have caught myself thinking about it , and imagining the scene -- everybody staring at us , while we sit in the squire 's pew trying to look unconscious , but really enjoying it all the time , and building castles in the air about the future , when we may have a right to be there . We should be thinking most of all of ourselves , and that 's not a right spirit in which to go to church ; so I 'm not going .
