noon
A day or two afterwards an occurrence took place worthy of commemoration . Dolly Longestaffe called on his sister ! His mind must have been much stirred when he allowed himself to be moved to such uncommon action . He came too at a very early hour , not much after noon , when it was his custom to be eating his breakfast in bed . He declared at once to the servant that he did not wish to see Madame Melmotte or any of the family . He had called to see his sister . He was therefore shown into a separate room where Georgiana joined him .
