ten in the morning
Sir Henry dined that day with Mr. Belliston Græme ; and on returning to the hotel , had the interview with Oliver Delancey , that has been described in the thirteenth chapter of our first volume . On the succeeding morning , Delmé was with the future trustee ; and finally arranged the affair to his entire satisfaction . His absence from Leamington , had been a day or two more protracted than he had anticipated , and his not finding his friend in London , had prevented his hearing from Miss Vernon so lately as he could have wished . Sir Henry had posted all night , and it was ten in the morning when he reached Leamington . He directed the postilion to drive to his hotel , but it happened that on his way he had to pass Mrs. Vernon 's door . As the carriage turned a corner , which was distant some hundred yards from Mrs. Vernon 's house , Sir Henry was surprised by a momentary check on the part of his driver . It had rained heavily during the early part of the day .
