seven o'clock
But still Mrs. Masters was not quite silenced . She had daughters of her own , and would solace herself by declaring to them , to her husband , and to her specially intimate friends , that of course they would see no more of Mary . It was n't for them to expect to be asked to Bragton , and as for herself she would much rather not . She knew her own place and what she was born to , and was n't going to let her own children spoil themselves and ruin their chances by dining at seven o'clock and being waited upon by servants at every turn . Thank God her girls could make their own beds , and she hoped they might continue to do so at any rate till they had houses of their own . And there seemed to Dillsborough to be some justification for all this in the fact that Mary was now living at Bragton , and that she did not apparently intend to return to her father 's house . At this time Reginald Morton himself was still at Hoppet Hall , and had declared that he would remain there till after his marriage .
