a
quarter to seven
Have you arrived with my mother ? '' `` Yes , half an hour ago . '' `` And has she deposited you and departed again ? '' `` No , she went straight to her room , and she told me that , if I should see you , I was to say to you that you must come to her there at a quarter to seven . '' The young man looked at his watch . `` Thank you very much ; I shall be punctual . '' And then he looked at his cousin .
