three o'clock
When I came to , I was at the hotel and I did n't dare open my eyes -- I knew it was all a dream , and I did not want to come back to reality . I lay there holding on to the vision , until I heard a man 's voice close by say , `` She will be all right now , I will take care of her . '' Then I opened my eyes , and with three Japanese maids and four Japanese men and two ladies off the steamer looking on , I flung my arms about Jack 's neck and cried down his collar ! He made me stay quiet all morning , and just before tiffin he calmly informed me that he had made all the arrangements for us to be married at three o'clock . I declared I could n't , that I had signed a contract for another year at Hiroshima , that Miss Lessing would think I was crazy , that I must make some plans . But you know Jack ! He met every objection that I could offer , said he would see Miss Lessing and make it all right about the contract , that I was too nervous to teach any more , and last that I owed him a little consideration after four years of waiting .
