two o'clock
Friday came at last -LRB- the day Cyril had arranged for starting -RRB- and Helen was up early taking a last look at the rooms , garden walks etc. , that she loved . It was a boiling hot day and they had to start in the middle of the heat . A large waggon came to the door wherein all the odd pieces of furniture were packed and the trunks and boxes being put on the top of that , Helen and Marshland got a small wooden bench which they put at the door of the waggon for , as Marshland truly remarked `` Air was better than comfort , '' and there they seated themselves to drive to the station -- Cyril had gone on to take the tickets and see about a comfortable carriage . It was two o'clock by the time they reached Holburn . Cyril jumped out , ordered a hansom while Helen attended to the luggage . `` Now Marshland '' cried Cyril `` you and Miss Helen will kindly get into this hansom and I 'll tell the man where to drive to , I have a bussiness matter to settle , but you can tell the servant girl I 'll be into tea . '' Helen and Marshland got hastily into the hansom , to the old servant 's inexpressible delight who had never ridden in anything but the customary Kenelham dog cart , and the waggon she had recently quitted .
