Thursday noon
Not one more word was spoken about the marriage of June and January , nor could either Clarence or Corona judge by the manner of the ill sorted pair whether the subject had been mentioned between them . On Wednesday of that week Mr. Rockharrt , accompanied by Mrs. Stillwater and Mrs. Rothsay , left Rockhold for New York , leaving Mr. Clarence in charge of the works at North End . They went straight through without , as before , stopping overnight at Baltimore . Consequently they reached New York on Thursday noon . Mr. Rockharrt telegraphed to the Cozzens Hotel at West Point to secure a suite of rooms , and then he took his own party to the Blank House . When they were comfortably installed in their apartments and had had dinner , he said to his companions : `` I have business which may detain me in the city for several days . We need not , however , put in an appearance at the Military Academy before Monday morning .
