two o'clock
I do n't wonder you were faint just now . '' Miss Carson bent to her work and made no answer . Mrs. Wykoff sat regarding her for some time with a look of human interest , and then went out . A little before two o'clock there was a tap at the door , and the waiter came in , bearing a tray . There was a nicely-cooked chop , toast , and some tea , with fruit and a custard . `` Mrs. Wykoff said , when she went out , that dinner would be late to-day , and that you were not well , and must n't be kept waiting , '' remarked the servant , as he drew a small table towards the centre of the room , and covered it with a white napkin . He came just in time .
