eleven o'clock
Hart was amusing on the question of bees -- almost flippant , Mr. Martin deemed him . Peters had a wide store of strange experiences to draw on , while Grant , if rather silent in deference to two such brilliant talkers , found much satisfaction in regarding Doris as a hostess . The next day being Saturday , or market day , the village was busy . At eleven o'clock there was a somewhat unnecessary display of nodding plumes and long-tailed black horses at the removal of the coffin to the railway station . For some reason , the funeral arrangements had not been bruited about until Elkin made that envenomed attack on Grant in the Hare and Hounds the previous night . Ingerman had sent a gorgeous wreath , the only one forthcoming locally . This fact , of course , invited comment , though no whisperer in the crowd troubled to add that the interment was only announced in that day 's newspapers .
