five o'clock
We were very silent driving home in the brougham , and I refused to go into Lorna 's room , as I always did before going to bed , saying that I was too tired to talk . She looked anxious , but did not try to persuade me . I afterwards learnt that she went to Wallace instead , and sat up with him for the greater part of the night . I lay wide awake tossing and crying until five o'clock , when I fell asleep , and did not wake until nine . Lorna did not come to see me , and , though I dreaded her coming , I felt miserable because she stayed away . Every single morning she had come into my room and hugged and kissed me , and we had walked down to breakfast arm-in-arm . She must have been very , very angry to omit that ceremony !
