`` Her hour will be from nine to ten o'clock every other morning , and from three to four on alternate afternoons , '' said Miss Pillbody . `` It is now half past ten , '' she added , consulting a watch . `` Mrs. Penfeather , my eleven-o'clock pupil , is put of town to-day : so Miss Minford -- that is .
