three o’clock
When his servant called him , late in the morning , he delivered to him a card from Mrs. Guy Flouncey , inviting him on that day to Craven Cottage , at three o'clock : ` déjeûner at four o'clock precisely . ' Tancred took the card , looked at it , and the letters seemed to cluster together and form the countenance of Lady Constance . ` It will be a good thing to go , ' he said , ` because I want to know Lord Fitz-Heron ; he will be of great use to me about my yacht . ' So he ordered his carriage at three o'clock . The reader must not for a moment suppose that Mrs. Guy Flouncey , though she was quite as well dressed , and almost as pretty , as she was when at Coningsby Castle in 1837 , was by any means the same lady who then strove to amuse and struggled to be noticed . By no means . In 1837 , Mrs. Guy Flouncey was nobody ; in 1845 , Mrs. Guy Flouncey was somebody , and somebody of very great importance .
