ten o'clock
It read : `` Last night I had a visit from Lawrence . He has a great affection for his wife and child , and wanted me to talk with his wife about a family matter in which he feels he can not advise her . Can you kindly suggest some way by which I may have a private talk of a few minutes with Mrs. Lawrence ? '' Colonel Fortescue scribbled on the back of the note : `` Come to my office in my house at ten o'clock and I will have Mrs. Lawrence here . '' Broussard felt a little chagrined when he received this note . Suppose Anita should see him ? She had already seen Mrs. Lawrence put her hand on his shoulder .
