eight o'clock in the morning
The reader is not to understand that either of them had cheated , or that the baronet had entertained any suspicion of foul play . But Felix had felt that Grendall and Grasslough were his enemies , and had thrown himself on Dolly for sympathy and friendship . Dolly , however , was very tipsy . At eight o'clock in the morning there came a sort of settling , though no money then passed . The ready-money transactions had not lasted long through the night . Grasslough was the chief loser , and the figures and scraps of paper which had been passed over to Carbury , when counted up , amounted to nearly £ 2,000 . His lordship contested the fact bitterly , but contested it in vain .
