eleven o'clock
She thought of him a great deal that afternoon , and the result of her thoughts was that she resolved not to go to Logotheti 's house again , though she had a vague idea that such a resolution should not be connected with Lushington , if she meant to respect her own independence . But when she had reached this complicated state of mind , both Lushington and Logotheti took themselves suddenly out of the sphere of her meditations , and she was standing once more on the half-lighted stage , singing ` Anges pures ' into the abyss of the dark and empty house . The evening post brought Margaret three notes from Paris . One , in bad French , was from Schreiermeyer , to say that he had changed his mind , that she was to make her _ début _ in _ Rigoletto _ instead of in _ Faust _ , and that a rehearsal of the former opera was called for the next day but one at eleven o'clock , at which , by kindness of the director of the Opéra , she would be allowed to sing the part of Gilda . When she read this , her face fell , and she felt a sharp little disappointment . She had already fancied herself Marguerite , the fair-haired Gretchen , mass-book in hand and eyes cast down , and then at the spinning-wheel , and in the church , and in the prison , and it was an effort of imagination to turn herself into the Italian Duke 's Gilda , murdered to save her lover and dragged away in the sack -- probably by proxy ! The next note was from Logotheti , who begged her to use his motor car for going in to her rehearsals .
