about a quarter to four
`` I see what you mean , '' returned Bessie , whose ready sympathy made her quick to detect his meaning `` Edna is very proud ; you think it would be wiser to leave her in ignorance of this interview . Yes , you are right ; there must be some other way ; '' and then , after a moment 's consideration , she added , `` There is a fancy bazaar at the Pavilion this afternoon ; some friends of the Sefton 's are stall-holders , and we are all going ; every one will be there ; why should you not go too ? '' `` Thank you , '' was all he said ; but his face brightened perceptibly , and then in an eager tone : `` What time will you go ? '' `` Mrs. Sefton said she should order the carriage at half-past three , so I suppose we shall be there about a quarter to four . The Crawfords ' stall is at the end of the room , and Minnie and Eleanor Crawford are to be dressed in sacques and hoops , with powdered hair , in the fashion of George III . 's time . Edna is very anxious to see their stall in its first glory , before there is a rush of buyers . ''
