about seven o’clock
How could you make the people at home so anxious ? ' William gave Lily his arm , and on finding she was both tired and wet , again scolded her , walked so fast that she was out of breath , then complained of her folly , and blamed Reginald . It was very unpleasant , and yet she was very much obliged to him , and exceedingly sorry he had taken so much trouble . They came home at about seven o'clock . Jane met them in the hall , full of her own and Lady Rotherwood 's wonderings ; she hurried Lily upstairs , and -- skilful , quick , and ready -- she helped her to dress in a very short time . As they ran down Reginald overtook them , and they entered the drawing-room as the dinner-bell was ringing . William did not appear for some time , and his apologies were not such as to smooth matters for his sister .
