eight o'clock
If she had been aware of the trembling of her body , she would have attributed it to the agitation of a disagreeable encounter . She shivered . She thought there was a draught somewhere ; but she did not rouse herself to shut the window . At eight o'clock a telegram from Majendie was brought to her . She was not to wait dinner . He would not be home that night . She gave the message in a calm voice , and told Kate not to send up dinner .
