two o'clock
Charles Herne asked Penloe : `` What time would you like to leave here ? '' Penloe said : `` About two . '' `` Well , '' said Charles , `` I will have the boy bring the team round for you at that time . '' It was two o'clock but the team had not yet been brought to the front of the house . Charles Herne had gone out to the orchard and Clara was elsewhere in the house . Penloe and Stella were in the parlor . Penloe said : `` Stella , I will go up to the barn and see if the team is ready . ''
