eleven o'clock on Sunday
When on Tuesday , Dick went towards the school to acquaint Fancy with the fact , it is difficult to say whether his own disappointment at being denied the sight of her triumphant debut as organist , was greater than his vexation that his pet should on this great occasion be deprived of the pleasure of his presence . However , the intelligence was communicated . She bore it as she best could , not without many expressions of regret , and convictions that her performance would be nothing to her now . Just before eleven o'clock on Sunday he set out upon his sad errand . The funeral was to be immediately after the morning service , and as there were four good miles to walk , driving being inconvenient , it became necessary to start comparatively early . Half an hour later would certainly have answered his purpose quite as well , yet at the last moment nothing would content his ardent mind but that he must go a mile out of his way in the direction of the school , in the hope of getting a glimpse of his Love as she started for church . Striking , therefore , into the lane towards the school , instead of across the ewelease direct to Charmley , he arrived opposite her door as his goddess emerged .
