six in the evening
Yet , had not my heart been thus preengaged , Mr. H. . . might probably have been the sole master of it ; but the place was full , and the force of conjectures alone had made him the possessor of my person ; the charms of which had , by the bye , been his sole object and passion , and were , of course , no foundation for a love either very delicate or very durable . He did not return till six in the evening ' , to take me away to my new lodgings ; and my moveables being soon packed , and conveyed into a hackney coach , it cost me but little regret to take my leave of a landlady whom I thought I had so much reason not to be over pleased with ; and as for her part , she made no other difference to my staying or going , but what that of the profit created . We soon got to the house appointed for me , which was that of a plain tradesman , who , on the score of interest , was entirely at Mr. H. . . 's devotion , and who let him the first floor , very genteelly furnished , for two guineas a week , of which I was instated mistress , with a maid to attend me .
