asked Mr. George . `` I think that will do very well , '' said Mrs. Parkman . `` We will say ten , if you prefer , '' said Mr. George . `` O , no , '' said she , `` half past nine will do very well . '' So Mr. George rang the bell , and when the waiter came , he ordered a sumptuous breakfast , consisting of beefsteaks , hot rolls , coffee , omelet , and every thing else that he could think of that was good , and directed the waiter to have it ready at half past nine . `` I shall also want a carriage and a pair of horses to-morrow , '' continued Mr. George , `` and a commissioner . '' `` Very well , sir , '' said the waiter ; `` and what time shall you wish for the carriage ? ''
