Three o'clock
The telephone buzzed ; Ranleigh answered it -- then raised his hand to Harleston to remain . After a moment , he motioned for Harleston to come closer and held the receiver so that both could hear . `` I can see you at three o'clock , '' Ranleigh said . `` Three o'clock will be very nice , '' came a feminine voice -- soft , with a bit of a drawl . `` Very well , '' Ranleigh replied . `` If you will give me your name -- I missed it . Whom am I to expect at three ? ''
