evening about five o'clock
She made me a curtsy without uttering a word , and turned to go out . I called to her to stop : ` Tell me at least , ' said I , ` wherefore -- how -- with what design they sent you here ? how did you discover my name , or the place where you could find me ? ' `` She told me that she had long known M. G -- M -- ; that he had sent for her that evening about five o'clock ; and that , having followed the servant who had been dispatched to her , she was shown into a large house , where she found him playing at picquet with a beautiful young woman ; and that they both charged her to deliver the letter into my hands , after telling her that she would find me in a hackney-coach at the bottom of the street of St. Andre . I asked if they had said nothing more . She blushed while she replied , that they had certainly made her believe that I should be glad of her society . ` They have deceived you too , ' said I , ` my poor girl -- they have deceived you ; you are a woman , and probably wish for a lover ; but you must find one who is rich and happy , and it is not here you will find him .
