one o'clock
Marion , the elder , was extremely pretty and gentle ; and Bertie , the third , taciturn and unprepossessing , yet evidently sensible . She it was who alone resembled her father . * * * * * Fortunately , for the uninterrupted success of my scheme , Evelyn had one of her sick turns that day , and remained closely shut up in her room . At one o'clock , I summoned Franklin to my chamber . `` There is a trunk , '' I said , `` that I wish you would take to the Mansion House -- to the care of a Mr. Somnus lodging there -- here is the card attached , with his name ; place it with his baggage . It is to go to New York , for a Miss Harz , a relation of mine -- a teacher , I believe , who has applied to me for assistance ; but he understands all that , so you need not be at , any trouble to explain . Be quiet , Franklin , in removing it , as Evelyn is very nervous to-day , and dislikes noise ; and go with the drayman yourself to insure its safe delivery . ''
