six o'clock
Eve , having got rid of him , showed none of the insouciance she had recommended . She darted into the kitchen , bared her arms , and made wheaten cakes with unequaled rapidity , the servant looking on with demure admiration all the while . These put into the oven , she got her keys and put out the silver teapot , cream jug and sugar basin , things not used every day , I can tell you ; item , the best old china tea service ; item , some rare tea , of which David had brought home a small quantity from China . At six o'clock Miss Fountain came ; a footman marched twenty yards behind her . She dismissed him at the door , and Eve invited her at once into the garden . There David joined them , his heart beating violently . She put out her hand kindly and calmly , and shook hands with him in the most unembarrassed way imaginable .
