10 A.M
The room looked out on a narrow passage which runs from St Paul 's Churchyard to Paternoster Row ; and Dr Grantly patiently perused the names of the three shopkeepers whose doors were in view . The warden still kept his seat at the table , and examined the pattern of the tablecloth ; and Mrs Grantly , seating herself on the sofa , began to knit . After a while the warden pulled his Bradshaw out of his pocket , and began laboriously to consult it . There was a train for Barchester at 10 A.M. . That was out of the question , for it was nearly ten already . Another at 3 P.M. ; another , the night-mail train , at 9 P.M. . The three o'clock train would take him home to tea , and would suit very well .
