one o’clock
`` Only to-day ! It must have been decided very hastily , then , for a measure of that sort . '' `` Mr. Williams was so put to it that he took care to lose no time . He spoke to me at one o'clock . I had gone to him to the cathedral , asking for the copying , which I heard was going begging , and he broached the other subject , on the spur of the moment , as it seemed to me . Nothing could be decided until I had seen Mr. Galloway , and I spoke to him after he left here , this afternoon . He will allow me to be absent from the office an hour , morning and afternoon , on condition that I attend for two hours before breakfast . ''
