four o’clock
About half past three the first carriages from the station that were bringing the visitors began to arrive . Every one was doing a favor for some one else , or greeting friends and relatives . Such happy excitement prevailed everywhere that the school resembled a cage of fluttering butterflies . At four o'clock the recital began . Seddon Hall was renowned for its music . Some of the girls played remarkably well , and there were a number of beautiful voices . Connie had to give not only one encore , but two , and it was her own composition that called forth the heartiest applause .
