two o'clock
No use to worry her to - night ! Let her have a good night 's rest , and to-morrow morning , bright and early , he would go round to the hotel , when Mr and Mrs Schuter , or Moffatt , or whatever their name happened to be , would once more find their quarters too hot to hold them ! On returning to the hotel that evening , Mr Moffatt announced that he and his wife had business on hand next morning , which would necessitate an early breakfast , and that once again they would be obliged to leave Cornelia to her own resources . He suggested , however , that they should all meet at Paddington Station at two o'clock , whence they could take train to Maidenhead for an afternoon on the river . Cornelia hailed the prospect with delight , and mentally dedicated the morning to doing a picture-gallery , and to choosing a suitable present for her aunt and Elma Ramsden . Aunt Soph should have lace ; something soft , and smooth , and womanly , to take the place of the prickly steel trimmings which seemed to constitute her one idea of adornment . Elma , dear thing , what should be chosen for her ?
