seven
minutes to nine
So long as Alfred was n't in a position to marry you , you would hear of no one else , and now -- but you do n't mean to say you are going to throw him over . ' ` I do n't know what I shall do . ' ` Well , I have no time to discuss the matter with you now . It is seven minutes to nine . I shall only have just time to catch the train by walking very fast . Good-bye . ' ` Please , mam , any orders to-day for the butcher ? '
