What time is it ?" "Ten minutes past two, sir," answered the man, looking at the clock and blinking.
"Ten minutes past two?

I have some work to do." "All right, sir." "Did any one call this evening ?" "Mr.Hallward, sir.

He stayed here till eleven, and then he went away to catch his train." "Oh! I am sorry I didn't see him.

Don't forget to call me at nine to-morrow." "No, sir." The man shambled down the passage in his slippers.
