about four o’clock
There is an intoxication quite distinct from that which comes from strong drink . When the judgment is altogether overcome by the spirits this species of drunkenness comes on , and in this way Marian Leslie was drunk that night . For two hours she danced with Captain Ewing , and ever and anon she kept saying to herself that she would teach the world to know -- and of all the world Mr. Cumming especially -- that she might be lead , but not driven . Then about four o'clock she went home , and as she attempted to undress herself in her own room she burst into violent tears and opened her heart to her sister -- `` Oh , Fanny , I do love him , I do love him so dearly ! and now he will never come to me again ! '' Maurice stood still with his back against the wall , for the full two hours of Marian 's exhibition , and then he said to his aunt before he left -- `` I hope you have now seen enough ; you will hardly mention her name to me again . '' Miss Jack groaned from the bottom of her heart but she said nothing .
