a quarter past four
`` It 's the nigger ! 'T was n't any good telling him that my lady 's gone out , and so he 's settled himself in the bedroom . We only expected him this evening . '' At a quarter past four Nana was not in yet . What could she be after ? It was silly of her ! Two other bouquets were brought round , and Zoe , growing bored looked to see if there were any coffee left .
