Half past eleven
She will always remember best in her life that morning when at last she saw amongst the reliable Cause List of the Times newspaper , under the heading of Court XIII , Mr. Justice Bentham , the case of Forsyte v.

How , unless with the instinct of a woman in love , she knew that Bosinney 's discomfiture in this action was assured , can not be told -- on this assumption , however , she laid her plans , as upon a certainty . Half past eleven found her at watch in the gallery of Court XIII. , and there she remained till the case of Forsyte v. Bosinney was over . Bosinney 's absence did not disquiet her ; she had felt instinctively that he would not defend himself . At the end of the judgment she hastened down , and took a cab to his rooms . She passed the open street-door and the offices on the three lower floors without attracting notice ; not till she reached the top did her difficulties begin .
