about a quarter to two
Hacking looked at Mark suspicious of some hidden catch that would make him appear a fool . `` No , really I 'm not ragging , '' said Mark . `` I 'll bring it round to you after dinner . I 'll be at your place about a quarter to two . Wait for me , wo n't you ? '' Hacking puzzled his brains to account for this generous whim , and at last decided that Mark must be `` gone '' on his sister Edith . He supposed that he ought to warn Edith to be about when Mark called ; if the bat was not forthcoming he could easily prevent a meeting .
