two o'clock
There was but one drop of honey in all the bitter cup -- a drop six feet high and stout in proportion -- Captain Angus Hammond . For Captain Angus Hammond , as though to prove that _ all _ the world , was not base and mercenary , had come nobly to the front , and proposed to Trixy . And Trixy , surprised and grateful , and liking him very much , had hesitated , and smiled , and dimpled , and blushed , and objected , and finally begun to cry , and sobbed out `` yes '' through her tears . Charley slept until twelve -- they were to depart for Liverpool by the two o'clock express . Then his sister , attired for travelling , awoke him , and they all breakfasted together ; Mr. Stuart , too , looking very limp and miserable , and Captain Hammond , whose state would have been one of idiotic happiness , had not the thought that the ocean to-morrow would roll between him and the object of his young affections , thrown a damper upon him . He was going to Liverpool with them , however ; it would be a mournful consolation to see them off . They travelled second-class .
