about one o'clock
Etiquette forbade her actually to listen to what passed , but she could not help hearing Olga laugh at something -LRB- presumably -RRB- that Georgie said . He himself took no part in the green-parliament that morning , but had been seen to dash into the fruiterer 's and out again , before he went in a great hurry to The Hurst , shortly after twelve-thirty . Classes on Eastern philosophy under the tuition of Mrs Quantock 's Indian , were already beginning to be hinted at , but today in the breathless excitement about the prima-donna nobody cared about that ; they might all have been taking lessons in cannibalism , and nobody would have been interested . Finally about one o'clock one of the motors in which the party had arrived yesterday drew up at the door of the Ambermere Arms , and presently Mr Bracely , -- no , dear , Mr Shuttleworth got in and drove off alone . That was very odd conduct in a lately-married bridegroom , and it was hoped that there had been no quarrel . Olga had , of course , been given no directions as to Hightum or Tightum , and when she walked across to Georgie 's house shortly after half-past one only Mrs Weston who was going back home to lunch at top speed was aware that she was dressed in a very simple dark blue morning frock , that would almost have passed for Scrub . It is true that it was exceedingly well cut , and had not the look of having been rolled up in a ball and hastily ironed out again that usually distinguished Scrub , and she also wore a string of particularly fine pearls round her neck , the sort of ornament that in Riseholme would only be seen in an evening Hightum , even if anybody in Riseholme had owned such things .
