There was no one else.

Mr.Cyril and Uncle William had gone--home, I supposed.

I sent back word by the maid to Aunt Hannah that I'd gone ahead; you know the carriage was ordered for eleven; but I'm afraid she won't have sense to tell Aunt Hannah, she looked so dazed and frightened when I told her.

But I COULDN'T wait to say more.

Well, I hurried out and caught up with Mr.Bertram just as they were crossing Arlington Street to the Garden.
