about a quarter to three
So when prayers were over Dr Jolliffe told all present to remain where they were , and then calling up Crawley , he asked him whether the account he had heard was correct . `` I did not mean to report it , sir , '' said Crawley , `` but it is true that four pounds in gold and twelve shillings in silver were taken from the tin box belonging to the cricket and football club this afternoon . '' `` When did you last see this money ? '' `` At about a quarter to three , sir . As it was a half-holiday I thought I would get all my papers ready against the cricket and football meeting this evening . I set to work at that at a little after two ; it did not take me very long , as they were all ready before , and only wanted arranging , and a little memorandum written out of what I wanted to say , for fear I should forget anything . When I had done I counted out the money in hand , and put it in a purse which I have always used for the subscriptions ; there was the sum I have mentioned and a five-pound note .
