nine o'clock
In repeating his invitation she blamed Burnamy 's uncandor so much that March took his part , as perhaps she intended , and said , `` Oh , nonsense , '' and that he should like to go in for the whole thing ; and General Triscoe accepted as promptly for himself and his daughter . That made six people , Burnamy counted up , and he feigned a decent regret that there was not room for Mrs. Adding and her son ; he would have liked to ask them . Mrs. March did not enjoy it so much as coming with her husband alone when they took two florin seats in the orchestra for the comedy . The comedy always began half an hour earlier than the opera , and they had a five-o'clock supper at the Theatre-Cafe before they went , and they got to sleep by nine o'clock ; now they would be up till half past ten at least , and that orgy at Schwarzkopf 's might not be at all good for him . But still she liked being there ; and Miss Triscoe made her take the best seat ; Burnamy and Stoller made the older men take the other seats beside the ladies , while they sat behind , or stood up , when they , wished to see , as people do in the back of a box . Stoller was not much at ease in evening dress , but he bore himself with a dignity which was not perhaps so gloomy as it looked ; Mrs. March thought him handsome in his way , and required Miss Triscoe to admire him . As for Burnamy 's beauty it was not necessary to insist upon that ; he had the distinction of slender youth ; and she liked to think that no Highhote there was of a more patrician presence than this yet unprinted contributor to ` Every Other Week ' .
