the morning
Meanwhile , in the dining-room downstairs , Millie Splay , Sir Chichester and Harry Luttrell gathered about Martin at the table whilst he ate cold beef and drank a pint of champagne . `` I went up to London to see some one on the editorial staff of the _ Harpoon _ , '' Martin explained . `` There were two questions I wanted answers for , if I could get them . You see , according to McKerrel -- and you , Sir Chichester , say that he is a capable man -- Stella Croyle died at one in the morning . '' `` Yes , '' Sir Chichester agreed . '' _ About _ one , '' Harry Luttrell corrected , with the exactness of the soldierly mind . '' ` About ' will do , '' Martin rejoined .
