I knew I should like Mrs. Allardyce , just because Aunt Martha did n't . We had a delightful stroll . I never thought of the time until Mr. Shelmardine said it was four o'clock . `` Oh , is it so late as that ? '' I cried . `` I must go at once . '' `` I 'm sorry we have kept you so long , '' remarked Mr. Shelmardine in a tone of concern . `` If she should be awake , what will the consequences be ?
