twelve o'clock
Furnishing Mrs. Swiggs with the address of the House of the Foreign Missions , in Centre street , she excuses herself . How superlatively happy she would be to accompany Mrs. Swiggs . A report to present to the committee on finance , she regrets , will prevent this . However , she will join her precisely at twelve o'clock , at the House . She must receive the congratulations of the Board . She must have a reception that will show how much the North respects her co-laborers of the South . And with this , Sister Slocum takes leave of her guest , assuring her that all she has to do is to get into the cars in the Bowery .
