Little was thought of the absence of the three boys at tea-time, but when it came to chapel-time and bed-time, and they had not yet appeared, and when next morning it was found that they had not been heard of during the night, everyone became seriously alarmed, and all the neighbouring country was searched for intelligence.
"But only to return to-morrow." "And must you really, really go to-night?" "It would be as much as my commission is worth to be absent. Why, I am on duty to-morrow morning outside the king's bedroom! After chapel-time Major de Brissac will take my place, and then I am free once more." "Ah, Amory, when you talk of the king and the court and the grand ladies, you fill me with wonder."
"I can stay for a bit of tea so long as I be back by chapel-time," explained Tom. "An' so you shall, my son. Run 'e out o' doors an' amoose yourself where you mind to; awnly don't ope the lil linhay in the Brook Croft, 'cause auld bull's fastened up theer an' his temper's gettin' more'n more out o' hand." So Tom departed, and Uncle Chirgwin read Joan's letter aloud to her.
Didn't me an' Dick Davies watch for it all chapel-time?" "But why? for that car in particular?" "The gentleman bust his tire, an' we watched him mendin' it, an' he set us a sum, an' promised us a bob each if we did it." "Meanwhile he went to Hereford and back?" "I s'pose so, sir."

Suddenly into the talk and laughter there struck the sound of a loud and deep-toned bell. Lady William stood up with alacrity. "Dear me! is it really chapel-time? Lady Coryston, will you come?"
Wednesday morning bright and early, Betty started for New York. She went by the early train for two reasons. It was easier to slip away unquestioned during chapel-time, and furthermore she meant to reach New York in time to see Mr. Blake that same afternoon and take the sleeper back to Harding.
But, besides, I make a point of leaving breakfast parties at ten, and wines at chapel-time so that I really don't find them any serious hindrance. No hindrance, I mean, in comparison with the delight and profit of the society itself." "I wish I could make the same resolution," said Kennedy; "but the fact is, I find company so thoroughly amusing, that I'm always tempted to stay."
Elgar has withdrawn to a little room of his own, where perhaps, he gives himself up to meditation on the duties of a Christian parent, though his incredulous son has ere now had a glimpse at the door, and observed him in the attitude of letter-writing. Mrs. Elgar moves about silently, the pain on her brow deepening as chapel-time approaches.
