eight o'clock
`` Henrietta , at least you shall give us some music , and Mr. Langenau , I am sure you will be good enough to help us ; I will send over to the school-room for that flute and those piles of music that I 've seen upon a shelf , and you will be charitable enough to play for us . '' `` I must beg you will not take that trouble . '' `` Oh , Mr. Langenau , that is selfish now . '' Mrs. Hollenbeck did not press the subject then , but made herself thoroughly delightful during tea , and as we rose from the table renewed the request in a low tone to Mr. Langenau : and the result was , a little after eight o'clock he came into the parlor where we sat . A place was made for him at the table around which we were sitting , and Mrs. Hollenbeck began the process of putting him at his ease . There was no need . The tutor was quite as much at ease as any one , and , in a little while , imperceptibly became the person to whom we were all listening .
