eight o'clock
Just before the railway carriage in which she was seated started on the journey , she bent forward , and put out her hand once more to Mr. Johnson . `` To-morrow I will thank you for all , '' she said . `` I can not now . '' It was about the same time that she had reached Hellingford on the previous night , that she arrived at the Great Western station on this evening -- past eight o'clock . On the way she had remembered and arranged many things : one important question she had omitted to ask Mr. Johnson ; but that was easily remedied . She had not enquired where she could find Judge Corbet ; if she had , Mr. Johnson could probably have given her his professional address . As it was , she asked for a Post-Office Directory at the hotel , and looked out for his private dwelling -- 128 Hyde Park Gardens .
