the nine o'clock morning
Poor Mimo , so generous , always , with all he had ! Mirko was not to be told until she was actually married . She had written to her uncle and asked him as a great favor that she might only arrive the very day of the family dinner party , he could plead for her excess of trousseau business , or what he liked . She would come by the nine o'clock morning train , so as to be in ample time for dinner ; and it would be so much easier for every one , if they could get the meeting over , the whole family together , rather than have the ordeal of private presentations . And Francis Markrute had agreed , while Lord Tancred had chafed . `` I _ shall _ meet her at the station , whatever you say , Francis ! '' he had exclaimed .
