About seven o'clock
As to the other unhappy case , I know it was talked of , that in his travels , before I was taken into the family long , he had one or two broils ; and , from a youth , he was always remarkable for courage , and is reckoned a great master of his sword . God grant he may never be put to use it ! and that he may be always preserved in honour and safety ! About seven o'clock my master sent word , that he would have me not expect him to supper ; for that he , and my lady his sister , and nephew , were prevailed upon to stay with Lady Jones ; and that Lady Darnford , and Mr. Peters 's family , had promised to meet them there . I was glad they did not send for me ; and the rather , as I hoped those good families being my friends , would confirm my lady a little in my favour ; and so I followed my writing closely . About eleven o'clock they returned . I had but just come down , having tired myself with my pen , and was sitting talking with Mrs. Jewkes and Mrs. Worden , whom I would , though unwillingly on their sides , make sit down , which they did over against me .
