half past four
Then the fatal trunk ! I had told the police agent he might send it to the St. Nicholas , because I had to give him some address . But Fausta did not know this , and the St. Nicholas people knew nothing of us . I grew more and more excited , and when at last my next neighbor told me that it was half past four , I rose and insisted on leaving my seat . Two ushers with blue sashes almost held me down ; they showed me the whole assembly sinking into quiet . In fact , at that moment Mr. Burrham was begging every one to be seated . I would not be seated .
