two o'clock
`` That is only natural , I suppose , for ` Don Pompey , ' as Mr. Stryker calls him , '' observed Mr. Ellsworth . The following morning was the happy occasion , which was to make Mrs. George Wyllys the wife of Uncle Dozie . In the course of the week , which intervened between her announcing the fact at Wyllys-Roof , and the wedding itself , she had only consulted her friends twice , and changed her mind as often . At first it was settled that she was to be married at two o'clock , in church , with four witnesses present , and that from church she was to return quietly to her own house , where the party were to eat a family dinner with her . A note , however , informed her friends that it was finally decided , that the wedding should take place early in the morning , at her own house , in the presence of some dozen friends . The dinner was also postponed for a fortnight , as the happy couple intended to set out for Boston , the morning they were united . The weather was propitious ; and after an early breakfast the party from Wyllys-Roof set out .
