about seven o'clock
It was perhaps her naming Hugo so familiarly that caused Rupert to reply , with a smile that was more cutting than reproof would have been : -- `` I prefer the little girl in Gower-street still . '' From the colour that instantly overspread her face and neck , he saw that she was hurt or offended -- he did not know which . She left his side immediately , and plunged into the game with renewed ardour . She played until Hugo left the house about seven o'clock ; and then she rushed up to her room and bolted herself in with unnecessary violence . She came down to dinner in a costume as different as possible from the one which she had worn in the afternoon . Her dress was of some shining white stuff , very long , very much trimmed , cut very low at the neck ; her hair was once more touzled , curled and pinned , in its most elaborate fashion ; and her gold necklet and bracelets were only fit for a dinner-party . It is to be feared that Rupert Vivian did not admire her taste in dress .
