two o'clock
`` And the old judge bows and smiles across the table , and , says he , ` I had n't missed Harvey , and ai n't likely to miss him when I 'm talkin ' to Harvey 's wife . ' `` Jane Ann said she never saw a meal pass off better , and when she looked at Mary jokin ' and smilin ' with the judge and waitin ' on the children so kind and thoughtful , she could hardly believe it was the same woman that had stood there a few minutes before with that awful smile on her face and looked her husband in the eyes till she looked him down . She said she expected Harvey to step in any minute , and she kept things hot while she was washin ' up the dishes . But two o'clock come and half-past two , and still no Harvey . And pretty soon here come Mary out to the kitchen , and says she : '' ` I 'm goin ' to drive the judge to town , Jane Ann . And when you get through cleanin ' up , jest close the house , and your money 's on the mantelpiece in the dinin ' - room . ' Then she went out in the direction of the stable , and in a few minutes come drivin ' back in the buggy .
