four o'clock
Even that shameful time with Leonard on the hill-top seemed innocuous beside the degrading remembrance of her conduct to the noble friend of her whole life . Sadly she turned over in her bed , and with shut eyes put her burning face on the pillow , to hide , as it were , from herself her abject depth of shame . Leonard lounged through the next morning with what patience he could . At four o'clock he was at the door of Normanstand in his dogcart . This time he had a groom with him and a suitcase packed for a night 's use , as he was to go on to London after his interview with Stephen . He had lost sight altogether of the matter of Stephen 's letter , or else he would have been more nervous . He was taken into the blue drawing-room , where shortly Miss Rowly joined him .
