about eleven
     o'clock
Half an hour later , Rose came back . We teased her a little about the gentleman ; but she put it off quite indifferently , saying he was an acquaintance she had encountered in the street , and that she had promised to go with him next morning to call on a lady-friend of hers , a Mrs. Major Forsyth . We thought no more about it ; and next morning , when the gentleman called in a carriage , Rose was quite ready , and went away with him . It was then about eleven o'clock , and she did not return until five in the afternoon . Her face was flushed , her manner excited , and she broke away from Virginie and ran up to her room . All the evening her manner was most unaccountably altered , her spirits extravagantly high , and colour like fever in her face . She and Virginie shared the same room , and when they went upstairs for the night , she would not go to bed .
