ten
in the morning
I meditated a sixth , even that day , religiously preserving every stone that had been already laid , however , in my mind 's intention . The next day was that named by Lucy as the one in which she would unite herself to me for ever . No secret was made of the affair ; but notice had been duly given that all at Clawbonny might be present . I left home at ten in the morning , in a very handsome carriage that had been built for the occasion , accompanied by Moses attired as a bride 's - maid . It is true his dumpy , square-built frame , rather caricatured the shorts and silk stockings ; and , as we sat side by side in this guise , I saw his eye roaming from his own limbs to mine . The peculiarity of Moses 's toilette was that which all may observe in men of his stamp , who come out in full dress . The clothes a good deal more than fit them .
