One
o'clock
But if very bothery , better save time and ink , and have a snack of lunch with me to-morrow at the Elgin restaurant , close to the British Museum . Quiet and respectable . No flowers by request . One o'clock . `` Very truly yours , `` GILES CUTHCOTT . '' Putting on ` no flowers ' and with a fast-beating heart , Nedda , went on her first lonely adventure . To say truth she did not know in the least how ever she was going to ask this almost strange man about a girl of doubtful character .
