eleven o'clock
She was still brooding over it when she went downstairs to breakfast . Stopping in her office , she hastily went over her mail . It was with a sense of desperate relief that she separated an envelope , bearing the letter head of Overton College from the little pile of letters on the slide of her desk , and opened it . It was from President Morton , and merely stated that he wished her to call at his office at eleven o'clock that morning . With the letter in her hand , Grace entered the dining-room . She intended to show it to Emma , but the latter , who had risen early on account of some special work she wished to do , had eaten a hasty breakfast and departed . Grace slipped the letter into her blouse and made a pretense of eating breakfast .
