about
one o'clock
A little after noon the storm cleared up , and Robert prepared to go down to the shops . Clara had not yet come out of her stupor . The doctor had called and done what he could . There was nothing in particular that Mr. Hardy could do in the case , so he went out about one o'clock and entered his office , hoping as he went in that he would have no trouble with the men . Mr. Burns reported everything quiet , and the manager , with a sigh of relief , proceeded with the routine duties of the business . Nothing of any special interest occurred through the afternoon . The storm had ceased entirely , and the sun had come out clear and warm .
