o'clock
As for Flora , she said nothing more , and we all felt much relieved . Mrs. Jameson went to sewing on the trousers with the same confidence with which she had cut them out ; but I must say we had a little more doubt about her skill . She sewed with incredible swiftness ; I did not time her exactly , but it did not seem to me that she was more than an hour in making those trousers . I know the meeting began at two o'clock , and it was not more than half-past three when she announced that they were done . Flora Clark rose , and Mrs. White clutched her skirt and held her back while she whispered something . However , Flora went across the room to the table , and held up the little trousers that we all might see . Mrs. Jameson had done what many a novice in trousers-making does : sewed one leg over the other and made a bag of them .
