three o'clock Sunday night
Before I was taken ill I used to do all of Jane 's marketing , and you know what a place the market is for meeting people and hearing all the latest news . There are , however , two things to tell you , and you 'll never be able to guess them . First , poor Miss Amelia Peterborough is dead . She was stricken with paralysis a week ago when she was all alone in the house -- Miss Jemima was at a funeral -- and she never regained consciousness until the end , which came at three o'clock Sunday night . Poor Miss Jemima , I feel so sorry for her . She keeps up beautifully and is very pious and resigned . They say she will go into the Old Ladies ' Home as soon as the arrangements can be made .
