two o'clock
She had been seen walking one moonlight night with a young lad at Bangor : the lad was her nephew ; but some one had perhaps jested about Miss Todd and her beau , and since that time she was always talking of eloping with her own flesh and blood . But Miss Todd was not a bad woman . She spent much in feeding those who perhaps were not hungry ; but she fed the hungry also : she indulged a good deal in silk brocades ; but she bought ginghams as well , and calicos for poor women , and flannel petticoats for motherless girls . She did go to sleep sometimes in church , and would sit at a whist-table till two o'clock of a Sunday morning ; but having been selected from a large family by an uncle as his heir , she had divided her good things with brothers and sisters , and nephews and nieces . And so there were some hearts that blessed her , and some friends who loved her with a love other than that of her friends of Littlebath and Ems , of Jerusalem and Harrowgate . And she had loved in her early days , and had been told and had believed that she was loved . But evidence had come to her that her lover was a scamp -- a man without morals and without principle ; and she had torn herself away from him .
