three o'clock
I 'll tell the girls what a kind , generous Dutch friend I have . We 'll be villains together . '' We settled that Starr should see Miss Van Buren and Miss Rivers and tell them that skipper , chauffeur , and chaperon all being provided , there was nothing to prevent the tour beginning to-morrow . Having done this , without bringing in his obliging friend 's name , he was to meet me at the Rowing Club at three o'clock with a detailed report of all that had happened up to date . Never was time slower in passing . Each minute seemed as long as the dying speech of a tragedian who fancies himself in a death scene . I wanted to use some of these minutes in writing to Robert , but it would be premature to tell him that I was going to look after his cousin and her sister on the trip , as the ladies might abandon it , rather than put up with my society .
