ten o'clock
Carrie said very little , except once to lean over and ask me if I remembered the name of the man Alice Warrington had thrown over for Ted . When I told her she settled back into silence again . The next morning all the husbands were up early and off to the club for a Sunday 's golfing . At ten o'clock a note came in on my breakfast tray from Carrie . `` Slip on something and come to my room , '' it said . When I got there Ida and Alice Warrington were there already , and Carrie was sitting up in bed , with the same spots of colour I 'd seen before . I curled up on the bed with my hands round my knees .
