About two o'clock
It was agreed that Mrs. McKeon was to call for her on the Monday following , when , if her father made no objection , she would accompany her home to Drumsna . As soon as they were gone , Feemy made her father understand who had been there , and obtained his consent to her proposed visit , which he gave , saying at the time , `` God knows , my dear , whether you 'll ever come back , for your brother 's determined to part with the owld place if he can , in spite of all your poor father can say to the contrary . '' She then returned to her room , resuming her novel , and waiting with what patience she could for Ussher 's coming . About two o'clock he made his appearance , and she was beginning gently to upbraid him for being so late , when he stopped her , by saying , `` Well , Feemy , I have strange news for you this morning . '' `` Strange news , Myles ! what is it ? I hope it 's good news . ''
