six in the afternoon
Suddenly a thought born of desperation occurred to him -- why not consult a fortune-teller as a last resort ? It just flashed across his brain , an advertisement he had read and laughed over in one of the New York papers a few days before : `` Madame -- , seventh daughter of the seventh daughter , reveals to those who wish to consult her all the main incidents of their past , present , and future life ; brings together the hearts of those who are suffering from the pangs of lovers ' quarrels , though the whole wide earth should separate them ; indicates the whereabouts of missing ones , though they should be hidden as deeply and securely from sight as the bowels of the earth . The madame can with ease secure for you the love of any person whom you may choose to win , put each and every person in the way of making fabulous fortunes in the shortest possible space of time , and all this for the small sum of fifty cents . Madame can be found , between the hours of nine and twelve in the forenoon , one and six in the afternoon , and from seven until eleven in the evening , by those who wish to consult her marvelous powers , on the fourth floor of the last tenement house on Hester Street . Visitors will please take note that Madame 's consultation studio is in the rear of the building . A candle lights the way . '' By dint of much perseverance Kendal found the place .
