Friday at three o'clock
Will you teach me ? '' `` I should be glad to , '' smiled Arkwright . `` Then will you come , maybe , sometimes when Bertram is at the doctor 's ? He goes every Tuesday and Friday at three o'clock for treatment . I 'd rather you came then for two reasons : first , because I do n't want Bertram to know I 'm learning , till I can play _ some _ ; and , secondly , because -- because I do n't want to take you away -- from him . '' The last words were spoken very low , and were accompanied by a painful blush . It was the first time Billy had ever hinted to Arkwright , in words , that she understood what he was trying to do .
