eleven o’clock
` Did you mean to give it to me , my dear ? ' said Guy , as the child hung her head , and , crimsoned with blushes , could scarcely whisper her timid ` Yes . ' He praised it , and let her put it in his waistcoat pocket , and promised he would always keep it ; and kissed her again , and left her a happy child , confident in his promise of always keeping it , though her mother augured that he would throw it over the next hedge . He was at South Moor by eleven o'clock , in time for his morning 's business , and made up for the troubles of the last few hours by a long talk with Mr. Wellwood in the afternoon , while the other two pupils were gone to the races , for which he was not inclined , after his two ten-mile walks . The conversation was chiefly on Church prospects in general , and in particular on Miss Wellwood and her plans ; how they had by degrees enlarged and developed as the sin , and misery , and ignorance around had forced themselves more plainly on her notice , and her means had increased and grown under her hand in the very distribution . Other schemes were dawning on her mind , of which the foremost was the foundation of a sort of school and hospital united , under the charge of herself , her sister , and several other ladies , who were desirous of joining her , as a sisterhood . But at present it was hoping against hope , for there were no funds with which to make a commencement .
