half past eleven
`` Where was Sir Everard on this night ? '' `` At a military dinner given by Major Morrell , here in Worrel . '' `` What time did he return to Kingsland Court ? '' `` At half past eleven , as nearly as I can judge . I did not see him for some ten or fifteen minutes after ; then Claudine , my lady 's maid , came and aroused me -- said Sir Everard was in my lady 's dressing-room and wished to see me at once . '' `` You went ? '' `` I went immediately .
