`` Oh , Gerald , '' -- Lily 's tone was fairly lamentable , -- `` have you seen the baskets of favors that are going to be given away by and by ? There are roses of red silk , and lilies of white velvet , and chocolate cigars , and fans , and bonbonnières , and silver bangles ! Then funny ones of little monkeys and ducks and things . And I have to go home willingly , cheerfully , promptly , at ten o'clock ! '' `` Lily , if any lady is so good and so misguided as to honor me with a favor , I will bring it to you in my pocket to-morrow or soon after , I promise . '' `` What hour is it , Herr Fane ? '' asked Fräulein over Lily 's head .
