About eleven o'clock
`` This is his doing . '' John Vavasor stood confounded , wishing himself back in Queen Anne Street . Showing How the Wild Beast Got Himself Back from the Mountains . About eleven o'clock on that night , -- the night of the day on which Kate Vavasor 's arm had been broken , -- there came a gentle knock at Kate 's bedroom door . There was nothing surprising in this , as of all the household Kate only was in bed . Her aunt was sitting at this time by her bedside , and the doctor , who had been summoned from Penrith and who had set her broken arm , was still in the house , talking over the accident with John Vavasor in the dining-room , before he proceeded back on his journey home . `` She will do very well , '' said the doctor .
