two in the evening
He sent me two Orkney papers and the first thing I noticed was the prevalence of the old names . Among them I saw Mrs. Max Grant , and I thought I would write to her and take my chance of the lady turning out to be the old Sunna Vedder . It was quite a possibility , as we were apparently about the same age when I saw her . It was only for an hour or two in the evening we met , at the Ragnor house , but girls see a deal in an hour or two and if I remembered her , she had doubtless chronicled an opinion of me . In about five weeks Mrs. Grant 's letter in answer to mine arrived . She began it by saying she remembered me , because I wore a hat , a sailor 's hat , and she said it was the first hat she ever saw on a woman 's head . She said also , that I told her women were beginning to wear them for shopping and walking and driving , or out at sea , but never for church or visiting .
