o'clock
Perhaps some idea of the pleasantness of increased intimacy with the Duchess of Omnium encouraged him in this way of thinking . The Duchess was up in town in February , and Lopez left a card in Carlton Terrace . On the very next day the card of the Duchess was left for Mrs. Lopez at the Belgrave Mansions . Lopez went into the city every day , leaving home at about eleven o'clock , and not returning much before dinner . The young wife at first found that she hardly knew what to do with her time . Her aunt , Mrs. Roby , was distasteful to her . She had already learned from her husband that he had but little respect for Mrs. Roby .
