five o'clock
I hastened back to the hotel , and informed Kate that I had found her uncle , but he was not at home . She was so well cared for by Mrs. Macombe that she was in no haste to leave her . After dinner we all took a walk on the Battery and up Broadway , to see the sights . When we returned , at five o'clock , we found a carriage waiting to convey Kate and me to Mr. Loraine 's house in Madison Place . I COULD not exactly understand how Mr. Loraine , being in Baltimore , or on the way to New York , had sent a carriage for his niece . It was possible that Kate 's uncle had returned sooner than he had been expected , or that Mr. McKim had seen his partner 's family , and they had sent for Kate . It did not occur to me that there was anything wrong ; but I desired to see Mr. Loraine , and tell him her story before his niece went to his house .
