eight o'clock
The long journey by rail had tired the travelers far more than they would admit . For a few moments , after retiring , conversation flourished between the two rooms , then died away in indistinct murmurs , and the prospective Overton freshmen slept peacefully as though safe in their Oakdale homes . The two days that followed were busy ones for Grace , Anne and Miriam . The morning after their arrival Mabel Ashe and Frances Marlton appeared at half-past eight o'clock to conduct them to Overton Hall . There they registered and were then sent to the room where the examination in French was to be held . Examinations in the other required subjects followed in rapid succession and it was Friday before they had settled themselves in Wayne Hall , the house in which they were to live as students of Overton College . Wayne Hall was a substantial four-story brick house , just a block from the campus .
