one
o'clock
She showed me a letter from Martha , Lady R -- 's maid , by which I found that they would probably arrive in Baker Street that very day , with all her ladyship 's effects . `` I suppose you will sleep here , miss ? '' said the cook , `` I have aired your bed , and your room is all ready . '' I replied that I wished to do so for a night or two , at all events , as I had a good deal to attend to , but that Mr Selwyn would call at one o'clock , and that I would speak to him on the subject . I had requested Lionel to call at twelve , an hour previous to Mr Selwyn , that I might make him acquainted with the contents of Lady R -- 's papers addressed to me . He was punctual to the time , and I shook hands with him , saying , `` Lionel , I congratulate you , at now having proofs of your being the nephew of Lady R -- , and also at her having left you considerable property . You will be surprised to hear that she has appointed me her executrix . ''
