ten in the morning
The Princess did not yet know of the engagement of His Highness to the scullery maid . Who was to tell her ? The snobbish little heart of Peggy McGuire later gained some consolation , for Anastasie Galitzin emerged from her room refreshed and invigorated , and lent much grace to the dinner table , telling father and daughter something of the early life of the convalescent , exhibiting a warm friendship which could be satisfied with nothing less than a visit on the morrow to the sick-room . And His Highness now very much on the mend , sent word , with the doctor 's permission , that he would be charmed to receive the Princess Galitzin at ten in the morning . What happened in the room of the convalescent was never related to Peggy McGuire . But Anastasie emerged with her head erect , her pretty face wearing the fixed smile of the eternally bored . And then she told Peggy that she had decided to return to New York .
